I know I should have inspected/polished crank yada yada yada to ensure the bearing doesn't fail. But I've decided to get that $400 engine I mentioned before and start rebuilding it. Maybe even turning it into a stroker then dropping that in.
Jeep is ready to go and actualy went for a 2hr drive earlier just for kicks.

Thanks again to everyone that helped. [=
That's what were here for. Happy you figured it out.

Man that is awesome news! Good plan grabbing that other motor too, though if it were my call, I think I'd drop in that 80K engine and use your current block for the stroked build. But either way glad to hear your XJ is back on the road.
