I was wondering if the 1994 318 in my son's zj would have the same leaking intake gasket that my 2000 Ram had. kegger looks the same, but I have not seen anything on the forum about a blown kegger gasket.

You must not have looked very far because this is a constant problem with jeep 5.2s and 5.9s. They tend to suck oil into the plenum as well.

Kegger, i.e. beer barrel. Chrysler was one of the last of the big 3 to go to mass EFI and when they did, a lot of the truck guys referred to the intakes as beer barrel. That kind of evolved into keg(ger).

I get it.
I've heard there is a hood clearance problem with using some Dodge truck engines in the ZJ, so this might have something to do with that.
