A good used factory engine would be the way to go, particularly if the
AX5 came with it.
I did express doubts about Novak, but he has a point: behind the 4,
for girly driving, it's probably OK.

Re: 89 jeep wrangler
You have the AX5. Don't listen to Ludwig. He is the group idiot. The
stock transmission is fine for use with the stock engine, especially since
there is hardly anything else that will fit without a lot of trouble. Do
replace the clutch, slave cylinder and master cylinder when you have the
engine out, and clean the inside of the bell housing real well before
assembly.
Do you have a hole in the block from a connecting rod coming loose, or from
freeze damage? Sometimes freeze damage can be repaired, if you can find
someone expert in brazing cast iron. Otherwise, do you have engine
rebuilders with a real good reputation locally? Find a core somewhere, and
have the local guys rebuild it for you. Save on shipping, and have someone
local you can complain to if it comes to that. Sometimes the recycling
yards will install a used engine with a 30-day warranty, but you take your
chances going that route.
If you want to upgrade your power train, the Jeep Conversion Manual sold by
Advance Adapters is a good educational resource. http://advanceadapters.com
It's only $10.

You "express doubts" about people the same way I do, with one minor
difference. When I go after someone, they deserve it. I am pretty sure you
are not worth my trouble though.
