This is a steal! The machining alone cost over $2k.

 

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 ?

 

He is doing a V8 swap!!

 

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?

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

if i only had money!!!!!!!!!! gosh thats a good deal.....im salivating over this engine right now!!!!

 

Please send me a email with your contact information - 1@Vanderoef.net

 

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.

 

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.
