Why would you want to swap? Isn't the 242 more desireable because you can use all-time AWD?

Not enough info.
What tranny do you have?
What year is the donor rig and what transmission was the 231 bolted too?

Jeep used 2 different spline counts on the input, 21 and 23 and both came in 3 different lengths so you have a 1 in 6 shot.
