2000+ TJ Wrangler and WJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L engine blocks interchange.
XJ/ZJ blocks, and the 2000+ TJ/WJ blocks do not interchange without significant modifications. (1991 to 1995 YJ and 1997-1999 4.0L TJ Wrangler blocks will interchange in XJ/ZJ and visa-versa).
TJ/WJ 4.0L Engine blocks underwent clean sheet design changes effective in the 1999 WJ Grand and 2000 TJ Wrangler. These blocks are not interchangeable with XJ/ZJ engine blocks. The reason is motor mount bolt holes and belt driven accessory mounting bolt holes are in different locations, or not present at all, TJ/WJ vs. XJ/ZJ.

I will correct the spelling; I will also discipline myself sternly...
This Matrix id definitely wrong...
Any other changes or additions you would recommend?

I used to have a Craigslist search saved for Comanche with two m's. Nothing ever popped up. I thought they were just really rare in my parts. Then I realized.... Lol. A lot more trucks to pick from when you spell right

When I bought mine, I had a ton of tabs open. I had one browser open for my area with a separate tab for each search term: Comanche, Commanche, Comanchee, Commanchee, Jeep, truck, Cherokee, J10, J-10, etc. Then I had another browser open with all the same search terms in a location farther away. And another browser for another location. All in all, I think I had 8 browser windows and about 15 tabs in each one
