From john@virtual-cafe.com Thu Dec 28 13:08:10 2000 From: john Ok, I'm asking everyone, not just the FSJ list. ;) SuperDawg has been spitting up oil... Compression test shows that #2 rings most likely broken... or worse... ;) Requirements for new engine: 1) no carbs. 2) no AMC v8's - no more carburated boat anchors thank you. ;) 3) fuel injection (prefer MPI), TBI ok. 4) 4 speed automatic with overdrive, nothing with a history of failures 5) economical motor, good gas mileage 6) reliable, long lived motor 7) transmission bolt up directly to an NP208, 23 spline input I don't care if it's a GM, Ford or Mopar. I'll need the engine/trans complete with wiring harnesses for the engine/trans and all computers, sensors and accessories. My initial thought is to find a '91 and up 4.0L with Aisin Warner automatic from a Cherokee. But a small fuel injected V8 might not be a bad idea either... (I'd go for Diesel but the registration emission hassles make it a lot more work, and with Diesel prices almost 50 cents a gallon more... well... :( Suggestions? thanx, john ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! -------------------------------------------------------
