It's a complete crate motor from www.jeeppart.com
If you call, ask about a part number NPN HI-PERF 258 LONG BL & HEAD. It's
not a rebuild of an old motor, they build these from choice parts...79
crank, 83 block, SS valves, etc..
Paid $3400. Used it for about 6k miles and could not tune the TEC-2
system
on it. (www.electromotive-inc.com)
Bought a 4.0 for about the same price as a 258 cam + labor and installed
it.
I thought the cam/lifters were the problem in the 258 but come to find
out
the electromotive throttle body only flows 209cfm. Dohh! Now I have a
$4000
reminder to do my homework in the garage. You interested in it? $1500
and
it's yours.

The 4.0 has more HP but my old 258 had more grunt (until 1800rpm where it
was strangled by the TB) Also the 258 is much smoother because of the
balancing.

Feel free to call me at work. 9-5 EST 800.833.8843 X-6316
