Mix matchin
 
Okay so I got a 00' cherokee but had a bad block, but the head was good, so I had a 89' block that I used and put the 00' head onto it. Engine is in and everything is connected right. Go to turn over the key get to rotations and then it sounds like it's almost about to die. Strapped jumper cables to it but still has the same problem. I'm using the starter out of the 00' jeep and it sounds like it doesn't have enough to push it on over. Do I need a bigger starter?

Which ring gear did you use? You should be using the 00 one. The timing pulses are different between renix and HO.

I'm using everything 00' besides the block, crank, rods, and pistons.

Checked all the vitals and all is good, oil pressure, fuel, injectors, spark plugs. Checked all my grounds too and they seem good

Well I may feel kinda stupid but oh we'll forgot about the timing, I was out of sync, it purs like a kitten now
