im in the process of swapping mine now, not too bad, working on the trans bolts that are a PITA! I found a used motor that was actually fresh rebuild for $300.00. so Ill have more time in it then anything, but it will be worth it, the old motor now knocks like crazy and has no oil pressure. GL with the new motor

Your jeep is a taller version of mine! How do the mtr/k do in mud. I haven't got a chance to test mine yet.

I think this is the way to go... Unless you swap in a V8.

i love them in the mud, i mostly did mud in the beginning and they clean out very well. no problem digging holes either just gotta watch out for stumps, so lots of traction sand had me stopped up pretty good a few times though.
they seem to be pretty good crawling too, went to Stagg Hill a place in north jersey and had no problem with any trail i tried.

Cleaned intake minifold

The piston lacked lubrication, guessing the oil pump fail, causing a huge amount of heat and stress on piston #3. the skirt failed first than shortly after the rod "exploded" i pulled all the pistons out of the old engine. i forgot to take pictures. i will on Friday though. The piston is mangled pretty bad.
