Question about crank sensor mounting

[Raggedyman]

First time poster, long time lurker. I'm working on my build but I have an issue with mounting the crank sensor. 1990 wrangler, 4.2 carb with an automatic. I'm swapping in a 4.0 from a 1994 Cherokee and using a Cherokee wiring harness and going fuel injection. I don't want to go the hesco route and I have a sensor from a grand Cherokee. The problem is my transmission doesn't have the cutout for the sensor to mount. What it has, instead, is the casting exactly like the grand Cherokee had. Can I use this mount if I drill out the casting to match the sensor? Thanks for the help and thanks for all the great info!

I wonder if you can use the GC crank position sensor?

That's my current plan. The sensor from the grand Cherokee plugs into the wiring harness of the Cherokee just fine.

Well I can finally answer my own question.....yes you can! I used a 1994 wrangler crank sensor and drilled out the casting. I had a '94 Cherokee flexplate but it wouldn't fit my transmission so I had to get a '94 wrangler flexplate. The holes in the flexplate lined up and I drilled the mounting tab once I had the sensor in position. Started it up last night for the first time.....can't wait to get it all put back together so I can drive it!
