92 xj: keep or sell?

just looking for opinions/ideas what members would do if this were their xj. It's a 92 2 door 5 speed 4.0L 173,000 miles. the paint is fading/chipping off and there is some rust on the driver's side under the door. the engine smokes some,has serious blow by and goes through a quart of oil about every 2-300 miles depending on how many miles are highway miles. 4 wheel drive works fine and the tranny shifts fine. then engine still seems to have full power,but like I said before it does smoke and has a slight lower end knock when the engine is cold or warm. oil pressure is still good. around 50psi cold,and 20psi or so when warmed up and idling. I have a 95 4.0L in the garage with supposedly only 55,000 miles I can swap in when I have time,just trying to put it off and decide if I am going to sell the jeep or not before I do the swap. I do like driving the jeep,just wondering if it is worth the trouble of keeping it? thanks for your ideas/opinions.........Ben

what I would do is part out some of the more valuable pieces then sell the rest that didnt sell to a bone yard. Some parts you can get a good amount of money for. a JY will pay little but it combined with the parting out of some pieces will make you more money than selling it outright. Just dont be lazy!

Swap in the '95 motor and keep on driving it

that's what I am leaning towards,Kuasimodem. just was looking for others opinions/thoughts.

Swap the motor and drive it.

i've got a similiar situation, except older jeep and donar engine with 60k miles. swap 'em. if not, at least part it out yourself.
