'98 is a one year only trans because of the electronics.
Plus I-6 and V8 transmissions don't interchange because of different mounting bolt patterns on bellhousing.

The '2000 model year transmissions for I-6 and V8's are different also, for the reasons stated above.
2WD units and 4WDs won't interchange either, as the 2WD unit has a longer main shaft which prevents the mounting of the transfer case to it.
