All, my son bought a 89 YJ and blew the 2.5L up. He ended up getting scammed by someone that claimed to be able to do a LS swap. Long story short the guy is facing criminal charges and I have a shell of a jeep that I want to put back together. This will be fun drive vehicle. I wont be putting doors or the top back on it. I really don't care about any creature comforts, just want to have it to roll around in. Currently, I do not have an engine, transmission, transfer case, front fenders, grille, headlights, gauges and gauge cluster. Also do not have a drive shaft and do not know what condition the brake lines, brakes, axels, or the gas tank are in. As well, I will have to get rid of that cheap AutoZone floor spray, so I can put down some line-x. I think I want to put a small block crate engine in, auto transmission and then I know there are other associated parts that I will need. My hope is that someone has done something like this already and can give me some kind of information and guidance on what is needed to get it back up and running. I am not in a hurry and my son will be helping with the install so it will take some time. Attached are some pics of what I am working with.
Any help would be appreciated.
