the pic showed only a long block.  you're on your own for manifolds
etc.

neither my '94 nor my gf's '01 4.0 have remotes.  and from the tsm the
only sig my ecm needs from the chassis is a vss.  there are
passthrough senders you can put between the tranny and speedo cable,
or maybe between the cable and speedo at the other end.

painless makes an aftermkt obd1-era 4.0 ecm, pc-tunable etc.

apparently mopar farms this sort of stuff out, so who actually makes
this longblock is anyone's guess, except it isn't hesco b/c they were
asked pointblank and denied it.
