So, i have a 2001 with the now CRACKED 0331 head. As I cannot afford a stroker or even a replacement such as an ATK or Jasper motor, my thought is this. I have a local shop that parts out XJ's. Ive done business with him before and consider him very reputable. He has a '98 that has great oil pressure and compression. I want the bottom end and replace the head with the ProMaxx (formerly Alabama) for the 2001.
Knowing that the '98 has a distributor what other differences should i be aware of or should i can the whole idea.
I've been told that other than the distributor the 98 and 01 blocks are identical.
Can the distributor port be blocked off?
Is the '01 head interchangeable with the '98 block?
Trying to get up an running by Thanksgiving
Thanks
