01 XJ Loaded, brand new performance 4.0 $4,500.

A little more info on the jeep and 4.0.

So I picked up another XJ a month or so ago that needed a new head, its an 01 and the head was not repairable. I had planed on just doing a quick head swap, but the more I looked the less I liked so out came the engine. The cam was starting to wear, rings were shot, expansion plugs were almost rotted through, pistons were scuffed badly and the timing chain was slopped out. The crankshaft main journals were at minimum spec, main housing bores were at maximum and the factory put in a half set of .001 under bearings. But other than that it was great...

New parts and labor:
Clean and magnaflux.
Block was align honed to minimum spec so I can use STD bearings without Excessive oil clearances.
Balanced rotating XXXembly.
ARP rod bolts.
.020 over Speed Pro pistons
Block decked to bring the pistons to about .005 in the hole for 9:1 compression and tighten the squish.
Comp Cams 68-232-4
Pre 1997 timing set and bolt with spring loaded pin.
Mopar performance valve springs & retainers
New head casting with some porting and chamber cleanup and performance valve job.
Magnaflow high flow cat and Dynomax catback
AFE intake.
4 hole injectors.

Everyone knows that but my brother refuses to listen to reason.

This 4.0 is staying in the OK black stock jeep. As he said "it's a self propelled engine stand".
 
Would like to see this thing in action. How much to have alex do my motor?

well.... $1,500 to $15,000

not meaning to offend but that's like asking "how much to lift my jeep"
if you really want something done text me and ..... wait, doesn't your XJ have like 55k on it?
 
Yeah right my jeep is way nicer than both of yours combined. I also did all my fab work with shoes on which has to count for somthing.
 
Actively trying to sell this again.

I just signed for a 2014 Jetta TDI.

New price: $3500 or reasonable offer.

Latest Odometer reading: 253,400

Can be found between New Britain, North Haven and Bethlehem in a given week depending on where you want to meet up to see it.

Not even a single offer?

I also have a misc pile of lift parts that can go with this if you're interested.
 
Adjustable short arms, uppers and lowers. adjustable track bar, extended shackles, maybe some leaf springs for making a bastard pack and whatever other parts I find in my shed.
