I always tell people start with the simple things first. You will be surprised how many times we over look the obvious. (Me all the time).

Any engine swap is going to be expensive when done properly. Out of your 3 choices I'm going LS all day long. All choices are going to require the transmission to be swapped and the transfer case adapted or changed. I assume the 350 is carbureted? If so IMHO that is a step backwards. I would...

Nothing wrong with a small (1.25) inch body lift that uses aluminum pucks.

I agree..there is no reason to pay a shop to install a lift. If you have a little knowledge and basic hand tools you can do it.

How picky will you be about ride quality? If not super picky just buy a set of rubicon express springs, Rancho shock absorbers. I would remove the track bars but keep the sway bar. I would do SYE and DC shaft but people get away with dropping the transfer case (I don't like or recommend)...

What does your budget look like? What do you use the jeep for? 4 inch suspension lift is going to get expensive if done correctly.

Shawn has always been a huge help on the tj side of things I knew he would be helpful here as well. Plus if you have a problem pick up the phone and call they will answer!!

Welcome to the forum!! Any of the usual vendors will have a generic rear brake hose for 1.5'-4" lift. You don't really need a stainless braided one but that may be all that's available.

Those angles aren't terrible..remember the angles for a conventional driveshaft and a DC drive shaft are different. Im going to try and get Shawn from Tom Wood to jump over here and help

The 87-90 2.5 were factory tbi

Show us a pic of the angles please

Just fyi if you were to take your jeep into a chrysler dealer they will put either 5w30 or 10w30 into an ax15 so that's good enough for me

One of the biggest culprits is junk being in the cavity of the head. You must start with that area cleaned out or the socket won't bite properly. The other thing is carefully placed heat. Then sometimes they still won't come and you have to get creative.

I wonder if Mark at wranglerfix has the ability to test these older units? Give him a call tomorrow and ask. Im guessing you have priced the ecm and were shocked lol.

When you say hard to start can you add some more information? Does it crank longer than normal?

I pull them into the garage and have then stripped in a few days. Between ebay, craigslist and marketplace the parts go fast. I rarely have parts laying around unsold. I do this to make money so jeeps sitting around is money I'm not making.

And just to be clear these are nice rust free wranglers that have mechanical issues, been trashed or have been wrecked. Obviously the wrecked ones aren't nice but you get my point. These aren't Pennsylvania rot boxes.

It's up and down but I average 2 jeeps a month..not always yjs I do tjs as well

I commonly buy this exact jeep without any rust for $2500-$3500 depending on top, doors and other things. This is on the west coast
