The XJ is a uni body construction so it is not a body on frame construction, hence you cannot swap the bodies.

I do not know enough of the differences between 97 and 98 to be able to suggest what you can swap for the engine/transmission/transfercase/axles from the 97 to the 98. The issues may be with the emissions.

Not impossible but it Wouldn't be worth it. Why not swap the engine?
