Computer hookup should be the same and physically it's the same engine. Only thing I can think of to check on is the engine mounts (not sure but there may have been a change there. Also, make sure you keep the same flywheel position in relation to the crankshaft and that both flywheels are identical in every way including tooth count.

Thanks for coming back. You can use a 96'er 4L engine at your 93'er Granny. Two choices: you use all the electrical items used with your old engine (sensors etc.) and put only the engine in. Or: You take the engine, ECU, complete wiring etc. and put this complete "set" in your 93'er Granny. Check if the engine mounts and the flywheel fit! Both engines are complete the same, only the emission system has changed to lower green house emissions at 96'er models.

I need to know where I can go to get a manual diagram for a 1996 Cherokee jeep sport fuse box?

Like answer #1, when I bought my 1993 Jeep Cherokee, one of the first things I ended up doing was go to & join the
cherokeeforum.com, i.e. cherokee-forum-dot-com....

I've found that whenever I need advise, or answers to any questions with my vehicles, I look for the forum for that vehicle. 99.9% of the time the folks in the forums give you honest answers..... I even subscribe to a few YouTube Channels, like the one for my 93 Cherokee. That guy is not only smart when it comes to 1990s-2000s Jeep Cherokee's/XJs, he's always doing some sort of repair or modification to one of his Cherokee's or Grand Cherokee's..... Hope this helps all you Jeep XJ Folks out there....

Will a 4.0 engine out of 91 jeep cherokee work in a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have 2 yes and 1 NO so far.

The basic engine itself should work but you may have to swap the flexplate, waterpump, a few brackets, sensors, and switches over.

Need to replace timing chain for a straight 6 engine

I suggest the public library. I have found it to be a great resource. Haynes published a manual for 1993 to 1998 "all models" # 50025 or search at the library for ISBN # 1 56392 315 7
