Okay so my motor blew the camshaft blew out the side. So what i am asking is, is it possible to strip it down the entire jeep and sell as scrap metal? Or hack saw it up an sell it that way for metal. Whats everyones opinion on how to get as much money out of it? I can already get 1000 for te tires and sound system total. My "goal" is to get another 15"00 out of it, its got allot of new things done like new floors new sus lift etc...

silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.

Why not just replace the engine?

You can basically take parts off and sell them and then just tow the shell down to the scrap yard when your finished selling what you can.

Or you could just fix the motor^ or try to sell it as is to someone who would fix the motor but I doubt your going to get 2500 for it which is what you seem to be looking for. I dont know how much you have in the stereo but if you took that out and tried to sell it, may get some takers

Make the blown motor into a coffee table, part out the rest, sell the shell to a local Jeeper or scraper. Start from fresh.

replace the motor or build one

It would depend on the condition of the vehicle, the year and model. (What options it came with.) For example. If it where a '89 wagoneer, I give you $100 for the front clip. Also depends on how much time and labor you want to put into it, to get your money out. If it is that '95 in your photo album. Cloth interiors aren't really sought after. But the window glass is. especially the vent window. If your window glass has the factory mirrored tint, it's worth more.

OK, how in the Hell did you blow this thing up?

You just need to cut your loses and either fix it or sell it as is.

Remove your fancy boom boom system and sell it as it sits.

Personallly, I'd take the time to slap another 200 dollar engine in it and sell it for full price but that's just me.

around here a fairly complete xj will fetch around $300 at a scrap yard.

and can we have pics of the carnage? i would love to see a camshaft blown out the side of the motor.

You can kinda see the hole in the oil pan here.



And here's dude holding what he says in part of the cam.



Sure looks like part of a cam but I'm still waiting for a closer picture.

Kids these days..Spend a weekend and 500 bucks and just drop a new fresh motor in.

+1, a JY motor wouldnt cost too much, and if you can do the labor you can have it running for a couple hundred bucks.

Its also possible to get $1500 +/- for jeep with a bad motor.

I think I'd have to drive the **** out of the engine to see if I could get it to sling the crank shaft thru the hood.
