you can, but it is NOT an exact fit. they changed a lot of stuff up between the two models. your 97 can take a donor from a 93-98 grand cherokee, any regular cherokee and i think most of the wranglers. if you get a cherokee donor, don't get a 00- 01, they have a coil pack instead of a distributor and are prone to cracking when overheated
