Maryland XJ people

Hey guys I'm here looking for a bit of help.... The AX-5 in my trusty old beater has just about given up on me after 300k miles. If you know of someone who has one laying in the corner of the garage or know of a junkyard that has any 84-86 V6 XJ's could ya let me know? I'm in Smithsburg.
 
would you consider an upgrade? AX-15s you can swap in with a bit of work, and are MUCH easier to find, as well as being much stronger and more reliable.

I have yet to find a v6 cherokee, never mind a 5-speed, in the junkyard, and especially not complete.

Well I always hear the AX-5 is weak.... but mine has 300k of abuse on it and is just now dropping outta gear when no load on it.... No movement of the shifter just drops outta gear in all gears. Maybe the blocking rings are shot?

I need cheap and quick fix right now as the poor girl is getting pretty rusty in the floor pans. Don't wanna invest too much until I can gut the interior and make an assessment if I want to fix her or move on and part her out.
I'm having to drive my old 78 F250 2wd P/U to work right now, I hate to have it out in the salt and the 460 in it is a tad more thirsty than the 3.4 in the XJ.

Maybe I'll just throw fresh bearings, syncs, and blocking rings in what I've got.... just afraid once I go in it that there will be more needed with the mileage thats on it.
