Default Engine Swap

I have a 92 Cherokee with a blown motor. I found a nice '99 motor with under a 100k on it for $400.

What do I need to look out for swapping the two?
Can I use the '99 intake and exhaust?

Thanks

The 92 has a temp sending unit and the 99 don't.You will have to drill and weld a nut onto the thermostat housing and pyt the sending unit in there. The axhaust and intake will work but,you should use the 99 intake. It has a better desing than the 92. You will get more hp.

Anyone on here ever have trouble removing a harmonic balancer on a 4.0? The engine I am removing is locked up pretty tight. I am going to have to pull the motor with the torque converter still bolted to engine since I cannot rotate to get the other bolts. I was planning on removing the harmonic balancer to gain some clearance but that thing is a mother****er without being able to get my impact on it.
