97 xj 5.2 l auto wanting a manual. Is it possible???

Can I put a manual transmission in my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2 l v8 awd? I believe it is the 44re transmission. Not sure heard about an ax-15 possible swap working. I'm also curious is the 5.9 l the biggest engine that you could

I am wanting to turn my jeep into a sleeper. Big engine turbo ect
