Yes it will. Just did the exact same swap - 89 Wrangler to a 98 Cherokee (MT).
Remember to use the flywheel from the '98.
You will have to swap parts like distributor, oil pressure - thingy, crankchaft pully etc. - it's an easy job it all bolts right on. Manifolds/fuel injection also bolts right on.
You will also have to rearrange the placement of the ignition coil from the engine block to the body/frame. (took 5 min on the Cherokee)
