Question Looking to convert a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x2

Does any body here know where I can buy a conversion kit for this year model of Jeep or if they even offer one? All I need are the engine and tranny mounts. Here's what I have right now.
-03 5.3 complete engine with wiring and computer
- 4L60E for a two wheel drive.

I'd check out Novak. I haven't done a Jeep conversion but was looking for a while.

I got a 5.9ltd that I wouldn't mind swapping an LSX into (staying 4X4 though).

Very nice links...

No one makes a kit to swap an LSX into a Grand Cherokee. I'm swapping one into mine at the moment, the build thread is here:

Starts about a quarter of the way down the page.

For motor mounts I'm using half of Advance Adapter's TJ swap kit. I'm using their engine side mounts and for the frame side I welded my own up to bolt to the factory locations.

Actually that is a 200A MIG in the background, but I own a Lincoln Invertec TIG that is amazing. It does DC & AC and will do about 1/4" aluminum if I preheat it, a little thicker on the steel side.
