I found a 4x4 1985 Cherokee with a non running 2.8 that I might be able to get for 350. Is it worth it. How much should I look on spending on it if I get it?

i don't know but you can get chevy v6s from anything and they are probably interchangeable as that is carb'd, right? even if its tbi, you can put a 4.3 in it and be a monster

Borego

find something with a 4.0

So should I get it or not what do you think. Is it going to eat up my money if I get it.

x2 on that.
Besides, if it doesn't run, you can't test drive it. If you can't test drive it, you won't know what else is wrong with it (unless you would be buying it from a friend or relative...hopefully they would be honest with you).

well, if it's a 5 speed it most likely has 4.10 gears in it, which is a plus.

Is it clean? No rust? If it is then buy it. Jam whatever the heck motor you want in it and enjoy. A Cummins from a Dodge truck gets my vote!

If it is rusty then pass.

I guess I might just have to look at it. Its a two door on c-list I thought it would make a nice trail machine.

5 speed, blown head gasket, large tires, heavy brush bumper?

Rust is the deciding factor IMHO. It's only $350. I personally wouldn't give a crap otherwise. Rust = pass. no rust = buy I would love to have a $350 rust free 2 door. I would guess it's a rusty POS though.

You can get most of a 4.0 drive train for about $500 at a pick a part or just buy a welder and put whatever you want in it.

its got rust, i found it on CL, no pics, just a description.

i gave $250 for mine and drove it home, but it has no title

freakaccident

Will your state let you get a salvage title with a bill of sale?

Baker97xj

Ill try to show you a pick if I can figure out how to get it off of my email.
