2000 head swap
I just bought a 2000 Cherokee from a guy who seemed like he had no clue what he was talking about. he just said it needed a new motor. so I tore it apart and found the headgasket was bad and the head has a little crack in it. I knew that 00-01 heads were known for cracking but I was wondering if you can put a 99 or older head onto a 2000 block? or should I just put a new 2000 head on it? thanks

The best heads flow wise are the 91-95 heads. They will bolt on with no issues, but you have to make or buy a bracket for the coil pack and plug the sending unit hole on the top of the head.

ok I found a 95 head. I will just have to make a bracket for the coil pack and plug the sending unit? and I should use a 95 gasket? just making sure. if that's right I'm going to go get the head tomorrow

Yep. check out this link and see what this guy did about his coil pack on an older head issue.
