Beautiful! Sorry if you said earlier but where'd you get it?

 

Engineguy.com
But the factory is local here in dallas so I just picked it up

 

Ceramic paint for the headers




Water pump fun! The thermostat housing and valve cover will be this color as well

 

Nice.

 

That, there, is one purdy engine!!!!

 

Appreciate the kind words guys! Iv never swapped headers much less an engine so this is very fun to me! Expect lots of pictures and updates once I get rolling again with installing brackets and pullys

 

Check this out guys
Got the plugs in the 4.0 and the pacesetters in their place(not tourqed yet of course)
But check out this gasket that came with the headers!



It hung over the head ports like 1/4 inch!
Luckily my motor came with a new gasket as well. This is the one that came with the motor compared to the pacesetter one






And here's the headers

 

Always use the gasket for the intake manifold you are using.

 

Intake or exhaust manifold?
My intake will be coming from the original 88 4.0 in the jeep.
The gasket I (think) will use is the one that came with the remmanned motor.
As you can tell from the pics it does not hang over.
Are you saying I need to use the one that came with the headers? It hung over about a quarter inch and did not seem right

 

INTAKE manifold as in 1988 Renix.

 

Lol I got ya.
The headers Are supposed to be for 87-90 but there gasket hung over obviously.
The motor is an 88 remanufactered and there gasket fit perfect. I'll be using my intake manifold from my 88 renix.
After it soaked in dish soap for 12 hours of course! Lol

 

Looks great, Adam. I'm definitely watching the thread for updates. Can't wait to hear it run!
