Engine and transmission are in and bolted up. I still have to deal with the shift linkages, get a radiator and there is a plug or two to connect.

Brackets for the coil rail should be done today. Wiring is all connected. I broke a fuel injector plug and a wire on another one is frayed. I set the cam position sensor and timing. Getting really close to completion.

I did a final update on the rebuild price list. I didn't include the alternator or exhaust because it wasn't really part of the "rebuild" but if you want to count it the overall total was somewhere around $1800ish. I'm glad that's all done with so I can start on the good stuff.

Future plans are:

ZJ Tie rod/ends
3" lift w/full leaf (mine are inverted)
31x10.50s on 15x8 D Windows
Bedline headliner board
Replace a/c components (compressor seized, delete pulley currently in)

I'm sure that the list will grow and I'll never be "done" but that's how it has been with all my Jeeps.

The Cherokee is about 100 miles in on the rebuild.
Started Herculiner on the headliner today

Headliner is in! It smells bad but looks great. It color looks uneven in the pictures but in person color and texture is even throughout the entire headliner. Mirrors are getting recovered in a black leather material.

My 73 c10 project ate all of my lift budget, but I did just do the Viper coil mod and it's working good so far

Update:
I had a bit of a sensor issue that is now resolved. Replace cam and crank sensors now it's back to normal. I replaced my bent tie rod with a new ZJ set up and put a new rough country stabilizer on it. Rough Country 3" lift is ordered and on it's way

What is that Coil Pack? Seems like a good replacement to the factory coil pack

It's an Airtex 5C1103 coil. You'll also need to make a patch cable from a mopar p/n 68061344AA. It was around $140 for everything including plug wires

Nice, am I correct in assuming you can do this and run the old HO heads instead of the ones that crack?

Yep. I'm running an older cylinder head. The 2000/2001 exhaust manifold needs an adapter gasket if you use the original too
