thought you had a 98 cause you asked for one... except it doesnt work that way... the 99- is a distributor head... the 00-01 does not... you need a 02.5 to 04 WJ head...

it does work that way you just have to mount the coil rail differently but I'd say there's a lot more xj heads floating around tha newer wj ones. Obviously not having to use the older intake manifold and hanky coil rail mounting would be better and I'd rather do that if I can find one.

im well aware lol I don't have money for a motor right now though. If I can find a head for a decent price I can be back on the road for a lot less than a new motor.

yea I know but right now I can't put a motor in it I just ain't got the cash I don't know what a used head goes for... I'd say maybe around 200? And about 125 for gaskets bolts oil ect. And I haven't had pushrod issues since i changed all of the pushrods and the rocker pivots like 8-10 k ago.
