Tim

As far as I can tell, you may need a different torque converter for the 46RE,
one that is for the A518 with lockup as opposed to one for the A500 with
lockup.
Finding a flexplate which mates the 46RE to the 5.2L should not be too
difficult
because I believe pre-97 Jeep Cherokees used the 46RE with all the V8s.
You'll probably have to modify driveshaft length as well (shortened, I think).

Hope you keep us updated if you go this route.

Good luck.
Bob
