There are some ZJ 120 amps which will bolt directly up. They were an upgrade to thge stock ZJ 90 amp which is the same model as the XJ. So the 120 amp upgrade should work...Ok the Alt would need to be for a 97 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 I6 engine. The 90 amp is the same part number that is used on my 91 and the 120 is a bigger case but mounts the same. Just a side note this was only the 97-98 GC.
