Thank you for the responses gents.
And I value your time and comments. So to help those that would help me, here's some specifics.
In no particular order. 99 XJ, locked, trussed, lifted, blah blah....putting In a renix stroker motor that I pulled from my old 89 jeep. I have a lift, engine stand, air/hand tools required. I've done a couple engine swaps, but the main thing I really need help lining up the motor to the transmission, and putting the flywheel on to the torque converter. Something has been completely kicking my ass as far as mating the engine to the tranny. I've never had it be this hard before. Suffice to say I probably was a little younger at the time, and didn't have a recovering broken back from too many tours overseas. I'm available during the day, as I generally work at night. I am off all day and night Sundays and Mondays. I used to be in search and rescue, and I know how it feels that you want to help somebody is... you also need them to help themselves first. So here is the long winded explanation for you. I basically just want this vehicle to get up and running once more just so I can go camping. Ive literally had this project take years for me to do...dragging the jeep and motor everywhere. Such is my narcissism lol.
Thank you for your generosity of time and good intentions. Theres a reason Ive enjoyed Jeeping so much throughout my life...good ppl.
