Dallas Engine Repair?

Hi all,


I cross-posted this to a local forum and haven't had much luck yet. Thought I'd try the broader :


I have a ’01 XJ with the awful 331 head, and of course, it is cracked. I'm looking for someone (preferably a shop, but I am open to shade-tree if recommended by the community) with experience in swapping to a tupy head and checking out the block/bearings to see if they can be saved. I called most of the offroad shops (and a few others) and they're focused on full long block swaps, not internals.


Y'all know anyone local? Thank you.

I highly recommend my friend Toni - http://travelintoolbox.com/

He has space at his place to work on things now as well, so he should be able to get you squared away!

Another place you could check out is Marlow Automotive - https://g.page/MarlowAutomotive?share

They fixed an issue for me that I couldn't figure out. Seem to be pretty good with Jeeps!
