Their is this throttle body but I question if its needed as the 4.0 throttle body is a good upgrade.
A bored out 4.0 throttle body to 63mm the stock 4.0 is 52mm or 55mm if I remember the 2.5L is 48mm I think.
I have heard it can cause Idle problems being a 63mm

As long as they are made for the AMC 150 2.5L you are fine that engine has not changed in all those years.
It was a carbureted engine at first then they modified it for fuel injection.
I would call and make sure they are correct as you can see in the pic that is them and they fit.
With the removal of the Big (S) air intake if you don't have A/C then its an easy change over in HOT Arizona A/C is a must.

You should at least get the 4.0 throttle body and intake manifold mods done they are cheap and easy.
An 4.0 tb on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-97-98-99-00-01-JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE-WRANGLER-4-0L-THROTTLE-BODY-/200972158140?_trksid=p2054897.l4276
The key is to move all the sensors and iac with the iac chamber from the 2.5 onto the 4.0 and you will need to cut off the iac chamber tab easy to do just use a hacksaw if you don't cut it off it will not fit the intake manifold.

i will get the 4.0 TB as well, i forgot to mention that one
I ordered the .060 over pistons and i was sent Standard pistons, so i need to wait a week for the right ones, someone lied to me yesterday on the phone, so someone got chewed out today while i was on the phone... i got a good laugh out of it, he said the pistons hes sending me in a week are much better pistons, the standard ones they sent are "Sealed Power" pistons, i will let you guys know what the next ones are
