    If it is the 3.7 engine GOOD LUCK! They are like TINKER TOYS and so is the WATER PUMP and the ROCKER ARMS like to JUMP OUT if carbon builds UP inside the engine! They use a VERY CHEAP version of BOSCH injection to SAVE $$$,  Get a FEL PRO GASKET set and check the WATER PUMP condition as well! I am NOT a FAN of the LIBERTY engines, they ARE JUNK compared to the STRAIGHT SIX that was BULLET PROOF! Ge NEW HEAD BOLTS as they are JUNK as well! WHAT aq SHAME it is that they used suck a TINKER TOY engien in a JEEP like that one! TOTAL SHAME! I w3a going to try to engineer SPRING CLIPS for the ROCKER ARMS as CHRYSELR did NTO think they needed them!

    Will it fit, yes. Should you do it, no.

    Look them both up and compare part numbers. If they are both 3.7L engines I'm positive they are the same. Buy New head bolts though.

    If it’s the same engine yes but even a minor change and it’s useless. Plus if it’s been sitting around it might be damaged or brittle. Gadgets tend to be quite cheap replacing the head gasket involves a lot of work, so the saving on the price of the gasket is minimal. It might be $25 against $1000 for labour.

    As long as they are for the same engine. 2002-2005 are compatible.

    If the engines are the same then yes. If not then no.

    Why would you even want to? If you're that cheap to by the correct kit for doing the upper end you likely won't even have the head shaved or tested for cracks. Good fricken luck dude.

    It depends on the engine, genius - not the model of car.
