I've become wary of interchanges outside my area of personal
experience; I just don't have the data nor experience to know what
fits, nor the time or money to try-and-see with big parts like
transmissions.

I know I sound stupid, but I honestly don't know what "late model
wrangler" means. Can you give an example year?  New enough to have
"low" mileage, say 50,000 or less, means it's got to be < 10 years
old. That's 1995. Aren't those riddled with computers and smog
interlocks and lockup converters that want interface to other
systems?  If it's old enough to be non-electronic, eg. 1980's,
then it's likely got a lot of miles.
