It will work. Not worth it on it's own.

If there's nothing wrong with the 88 head, I wouldn't even bother with the HO head. What are you wanting to accomplish?

Yes. I have ideas. The 94 head would not be high on my list though.

Replacing the stock Renix injectors is always a good idea. Not gonna net you much, if any, power though. But that's okay. The later model injectors will smooth out the idle, help throttle response, and they don't leak externalloy and burn your Jeep to the ground like the stockers. Contact Programbo here on CF to get a set of reconditioned ones.

Is your exhaust system all rusty? Live in a rust-belt state?
