The engine with the starter on the passenger side is from a truck, the other from a passenger car. I'm going to guess that the bell housings will switch. You will have to indicate the bore of the bell housing to be concentric with the crank, and pin it there with dowel pins, though.
You might want to await other opinions on the bell housing fit.

There may also be significant differences in the oil pan configuration. This may or may not be an issue in the jeep. Hopefully knowledgeable folks like StudeRich will chime in to answer this.Paul
