need to swap out motor

my 98's motor is starting to go it blew the headgasket and i am pretty sure the block is cracked cause i changed the gasket and i am still getting coolant in oil. Question is tho can i use a 94 cherokee engine in my 98 or would that require little more work than a direct swap

just go to a junk yard an get one for about 350 all said an done put new seals on it an call it a day. Did all this over a weekend with some help from my old man. Wasn't very hard just take your time an label everything. The direct, exactly the same, replacement would be 96-99.
