Re: '89 YJ engine
Not disagreeing - but my line of thought is that if I have it down that
far - it would be "cheap insurance" to go ahead & do the master kit thing
(crank, rods, bearings, pistons, cam, lifters, etc)............unless
someone changes my mind..
I spent a few minutes on the net looking @ Jegs, summit, & speed-o-motive
for packages & can't find anything. The plan is to spend more time later
tonight @ clifford, hesco, etc.....but my wife spent last night @ her
brothers house in San Jose & I have to clean up before she gets home (PW &
proud of it)
The idea of buying a junk yard core & rebuilding it is tempting. I didn't
want to buy an extra engine due to plans to upgrade in the
future...........but it may be a better idea than buying a long block.
