RE: I6 Humpster plan

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

Sure thing, Hesco has EVERYTHING it seems. If you can score a complete
running 4.0 you are way ahead. On Ebay they range between $500 and $1500.
make sure of the year engine when comparing. I'm looking for a 1991 to 1996
just because it's a bit cheaper.

John,

I just picked up an Eagle with the 258 and want to go the fuel injection
route and the 4.0 head conversion.  The cost of the Mopar conversion is
scary though!!  I can get all the stuff off a wreck for the injection but
would need the wiring and trigger of the balancer.  Seems like you found
HESCO has this stuff.  Care to share your finding so I don't have to
recreate all the mistakes?

Thanks
Wayne
