QUESTION: Hi, the vehicle is Jeep Cherokee Sport 1997 manual trans and the engine is inline 6. Thanks in advance.

Answer
This is really out of my area. You are in for some major fabrication. Do a search to see if anyone makes an adapter kit for your application. Other things you need to consider is: Exhaust,cooling,overall space,crossmembers,motor mounts and the rear end.
