Re: Is it worth it?
Find yourself a newer XJ with the 4.0L HO. In the long run you'll be
happier with the engine and you'll need to fix a lot fewer things to get
it on the road.

What do ya suppose I could get for the engine. 2.5l. It has fewer than
25k on a new long block. $250.00?

Re: Is it worth it?
I would hope you could get more than that - I paid $600 for a junkyard
2.5L for my '93 Wrangler.
But, then again, the 2.5 for the '86 was TBI, not MPI, so I don't really
know.
For comparison, JC Whitney sells the MPI 2.5L new for $2500. Apples to
oranges, really, though.
Do you have any info on how much the motor was new?

2.5L for my '93 Wrangler.
But, then again, the 2.5 for the '86 was TBI, not MPI, so I don't really
know.
For comparison, JC Whitney sells the MPI 2.5L new for $2500. Apples to
oranges, really, though.
Do you have any info on how much the motor was new?

Re: Is it worth it?
I would hope you could get more than that - I paid $600 for a junkyard
2.5L for my '93 Wrangler.
But, then again, the 2.5 for the '86 was TBI, not MPI, so I don't really
know.
For comparison, JC Whitney sells the MPI 2.5L new for $2500. Apples to
oranges, really, though.

No I bought the whole vehicle. Engine already installed. No info
regarding that. I did not realize that the underside was shot. It has
a new set of BFG 30x9.5 all terrains that I am going to take. Also got
a full set of factory manuals with it. I think I'm going to part it
out. Axles are good, trans is good, xfer case is good. Hopefully I can
recoup some of the 900.00 I paid for it!! It is too bad cause the body
is in great shape. It looks really nice.

recoup some of the 900.00 I paid for it!! It is too bad cause the body
is in great shape. It looks really nice.
Thanks,

No I bought the whole vehicle. Engine already installed. No info
regarding that. I did not realize that the underside was shot. It has
a new set of BFG 30x9.5 all terrains that I am going to take. Also got
a full set of factory manuals with it. I think I'm going to part it
out. Axles are good, trans is good, xfer case is good. Hopefully I can
recoup some of the 900.00 I paid for it!! It is too bad cause the body
is in great shape. It looks really nice.
Thanks,
Greg
