Ok so i guess i should start a build thread. I got a 1997 Jeep from world famous MMA fight trainer Duke Roufus with a blown motor for cheap My son trains at his Gym in Milwaukee Wisconsin.



Heres a pic of it next to my sons 1995 XJ with some spacers and 31's

 

Ok so that pic is before he got the 31's and spacer's lol .....ok so after i got the Jeep I picked up a 2000 XJ with front end damage and stripped it



Before



After

 

Next I installed the 2000 4.0 in the 1997 XJ with a 1992 head. I used all the 1997 parts on the new motor. Of course i replaced as much as i could like the water pump timing chain stuff like that



Nice pic in winter
