Looking for a v8 to swap into the jeep. Tired of fighting with the 258, plus she's not running quiet right after overheating at the cruise :( Looking for a fairly cheap swap ...

UPDATED: Found a motor .... thanks :)

So Davy boy, you'd be interested in the 'ole winsor, huh? That would be a good thing. It's a rebuilder and I do believe that everything is there.

We're leaving in the morning and will be back on Monday. I'll give you a shout on Tuesday if you're still interested.

Got one now. This would be for backup parts. When the oldest put new timing chain in, he got in a hurry, didn't wait for old Dad, and missed on the timing marks :!: May have bent valves :x Will let you know...
