Default quick tcase questions

I have a 94 cherokee 4x4 and the transfer case is shot. I know I have a 242 but I'm having trouble finding one at the junkyard. I've searched and haven't really found much info. Is there any other jeeps specifically grand cherokees that the tcase will be a direct swap (no swapping input shafts and so on)

He's probably asking about grand Cherokees because there are a lot in his JY.

Those aren't exactly and upgrade from a 242. You can swap in a 231 case though.

If I happen to come across a cherokee with a 231 is it a direct swap other than the input shaft? I can't find the right info on this swap for a cherokee to answer my questions
