the original engine died 1998, and i have all the parts home for a full swap
4.0 engine with AW transmission and the NP242
engine block comes out of a 91 Cherokee XJ, the head and all the other stuff will be from a 1990 XJ , so all is Renix
much better stuff than the chrysler stuff.

its a lot of job with the grinder when you do a full swap
i will never install a part on my Eagles with the Chrysler sign on it.
all signs have to go  :amc:

Oh, wow. It was packed!

When my SX4 went to Europe, I packed it like that as well.  Just the engine was sitting in the bay, but all the parts were in the back.
