then again, most folks build strokers for power, and consider mileage incidental...
Zoro said:I got the motor! Had to drag the 'donor' Jeep about a quarter mile via tow-chain &4lo to get it to where I could have the motor pulled, then back after it was done. Should there be any issues with hooking up a 4.0 out of a newer XJ with an auto-trans to an older one('90) with a 5-spd? What I meant about how long can the motor sit, it might be 6+ months before I can get it in my Jeep so do I need to do anything special to it to store it that long?

Not very fast and it probably contributed to the early demise of my clutch, but a Cherokee should be able to drag even a disable Cherokee in drive, 2hi.
EDIT:As far as storing, I'd say maybe put some stabilizer in the gas if it has any gas in it. Actually, it'd probably be better just to drain the fluids and put in some fresh oil, or if the oil is still fresh just make sure it doesn't get too old.
