The 1984 Cherokee was the first year of the XJ, introduced in 1983. It came with an anemic 2.8 V6. Transmission and transfer case were also inferior to the 87 and up XJs. Unless you're looking for body parts, I'd pass.

It's probably one of the old full size Cherokees.

MT Mike is correct, but it also could be a FS too.

4.0 I6 premiered in 1987, unless its a conversion it will be the little V6.
Tadaa!!! 
LR2
The longitudinal LR2 was a truck version ("B-code") produced from 1982 to 1990. It used a 2-barrel carburetor and produced 115Xhp (86XkW) and 150Xlb·ft (203XN·m).
Applications:
1982-1986 Chevrolet S-10/Chevrolet S-10 Blazer
1982-1986 GMC S-15/GMC S-15 Jimmy
1984-1986 Jeep Cherokee
1986 Jeep Comanche

Don't hold me to it, but I think the 1983 Cherokee SJ (full-size job) came with either the AMC 360ci V8 or the 258ci I6.
The Wagoneer SJ (1984-1991) only came with the AMC 360ci V8.
And yes, the AMC 360ci engine is significantly different from the ChryCo 360ci LA-block engine, and there is no parts compatibility between the two.

The trans and transfer case wouldn't do you much good either. And 5-90, you are correct in your summation of engine applications for the FSJ.

The front end is different for the first couple of years than any other. Just FYI you'll have to do a another V6 or smaller.

Just thinking,.. How do you buy something without a title ?
For parts only OK. but what and how do you get rid of the body after you get all your parts ? My friend (boss) and I had this problem years ago. When he had an offroad shop. We ended up, Cutting up the truck into meany part so the metal scrap yard will take it without it's title.

If I remember correctly the axles are geared with 4.10 gears for that year and engine, I got a junk yard HPD30 with 4.10's and I think it had the GM 2.8L V6 in it. Probably has a D35 rear though, there are plenty of usable 84-96 parts on it though.

I think it was 3.73 in the V6 and 4.10 in the 2.5L 4 cylinder.

my '86 with the 2.8 v6 came with 4.10s. poor thing burned more oil than gas.
