I dont know much about the Cherokee motor, but there is an overwhelming amount of adapters and info regarding the 350 chev swap.
So much easier to follow a trail that others have blazed before you and get a better result. :)

There is a Jeep 5 speed gearbox called the AX15 that is almost identical to the R151 gearbox used in the Bundy. If a Bundy output shaft is fitted, it may well suit the BJ71 transfer.

The question is whether there are clutch housings to mate the AX15 to the 5.2L engine. The AX15 is normally found behind their 4.0L six petrol motors. I'd suggest asking in the Jeep forum.
