Hoping for some advice, my motor has a rod knock and is ready to take a crap. A friend lost his TJ in a garage fire, not completely burnt to the ground but enough for the insurance to total it out. His jeep only has 127k on the odometer and ran great, told me if I help him pull it I can have the motor. I know it's do able but I can't seem to find any threads on exactly what I need to complete the swap. Obviously all my OBD1 stuff has to be used. I was planning on replacing as much of the bolt on stuff with new, especially starting with a new oil pump. Also want to upgrade to heavy duty motor mounts while I have it out. I am working on a tight budget, that's why the free motor is a saving grace, but I still want to drop it in as fresh as possible without doing a full rebuild. Thank you in advance for any advice
