I'm in FL and have one, but I don't think that helps.

im in RI. i have a whole engine...100 bux for it.
no intake or exhaust manifolds on it, ran fine when i pulled it i have all the parts to put it back together. its been outside sitting in the shell of the xj so it might be a lil rusty

i thought so to>
you left a reply to my parting out thread i do have a running 95 engine, all i have is basic hand tools and not sure if i have all the ones needed to remove the entire engine, nor do i have an engine hoist thou. Im sure the header is toast like most jeeps to. And i may keep the alternator since its brand new.

The 96 up has the main bearing girdle as well as extra casting ribs in the block.

Correct. This was done in an attempt to reduce what Chrysler referred to as NVH - noise, vibration, and harshness. Did it work? I'm convinced that it did.

It strenghtens the block quite a bit as well.

87-90 RENIX had fittings for knock sensor and temperature sensor. The metal on them was also stronger from what I understand.

The short block shouldn't iirc, you will need a different head though.
I have an extremely clean 01 block that only needs a light hone on the #2 cylinder bore, including all the pistons/rods/bearings/crank, etc...I can bring it to Rocktoberfest at Rausch if you want it, its just clogging up my garage....and its the best price ever, free...pm me if you want details
oh, and I do have the head, too...same deal...included
