I have a 1999 Cherokee sport with a 4.l straight 6 cylinder. How can I find out which head casting number it is . Thanks for any information.

You should be able to see a 4 digit number on the left side.
I believe it will peek out enough under the valve cover for you to still see it.
Assuming it is original thinking it will be 0630

on the head, in line with injector 5, 4 digits code, if it's 0331 it's aluminum.

The 99 came with a 0630 head. The 00-01 came with a 0331. Both are cast iron. TUPY heads are also cast iron. But aftermarket aluminum heads do exist. Edelbrock sells them. I dont remember which heads they cover tho.

Factory never supplied aluminum heads for the 4.0.
