I was thinking of purchasing a 4.6 stroker motor from Titan $2,499 or Golan $ 3499. I was wondering why you wanted to sell yours after you put all that money into it ?

COSXJFAN

He is doing a V8 swap!!

SeriousOffroad

Yep, V8 in progress.

FWIW,
Do a search on NAXJA for Titan, you probably won't want one from them after that.

Frank,

?1 = is the engine still for sale?
?2 = I have a 1989 Wrangler with the 4.2 engine today. What would I need to do to both fit this engine in and make it run correctly?

SeriousOffroad

Well, yes and no. I've been waiting for a deposit check for a few weeks from a buyer. If it doesn't show up in the next few days then it will be up for grabs again.

jusper88

How many miles are on it? Or are youjust finishing the rebuild?

SeriousOffroad

Just finishing it, in fact the crank, rods, and pistons are still at the shop.

SeriousOffroad

Still for sale folks, and I'm tired of getting pulled around by the short hairs by the last "buyer" over at NAXJA.

So if anyone out there wants a drop-in, turnkey stroker that's a freakin' amazing value....

You know where to find me.

COSXJFAN

Sorry that you're getting yanked around Frank!! Good luck on the sale!!

I got a PM last night from a local guy that wants it. Obviously it makes more sense to take a locals cash first.

That being said;
Since I got screwed the last time someone "local" promised me a deposit, I'll give him 1 week. After that I'll move on to the next person.

Bill Vanderoef

I'm also local. Live in Monument and work in CS. If you dont mind send me your contact information. I would like to pick your brain on putting the engine into a 88 Wrangler. This way if your current buyer does not work out I'll have cash on hand. 1@vanderoef.net.

In fact it sounds like you have quite the shop over there. I would not mind taking the lazy man's way out and have you install the engine for an additional price. Just something else we can talk about.
