Well the old 89 engine is just about done. It runs good but is blowing by 2 quarts a week and the catch can isn't keeping up! I picked up a 98 long block to drop in some time late fall

So it's late fall?

And the new motor is in!
I have to button up the electrics, accessory drives, flex plate and exhaust and it should live again.
This happened last week;
After running upside down in the roll=over I knew it wouldn't be long. It lasted 15,000 miles running on 20psi(off-idle) oil pressure.
4.0's are tough!

I went over there after lunch on Saturday and the old motor was still in the jeep. New motor is in Sunday afternoon. Impressive. Took me almost as long to do the stupid power steering box on my suburban.

LOL!^
Still not done and running but the 98 long block is in. I will finish it up on Thanksgiving Day.
Need a new power steering pump, this one is leaking.

This is true! I went over to help Matt out and what a mess! We beat on that thing and the drag link would not release from the pitman and we couldn't get the box out far enough to pull the pitman with a puller. Crazy set-up, one more reason to hate IFS.
