4.0 Long Block w/34K

[curtis]

All,

I have a 4.0 long block with only 34K on it. Always ran synthectics and this engine pulled strong since new. I rolled the vehicle and now its just taking up space on a stand in my garage. All of the ancillaries axcept the alternator and A/C are currently bolted to to motor.

So here is the deal: $800 if you come get it. If I have to ship it then it will be whatever it costs me to build the crate plus $50 labor + shipping to your zip. I would estimate that shipping this would run about $200, but could be more with todays gas prices.

Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions: curtis@newkirks.net

Motor is sold to Marc Olivares. Thanks Marc!

This motor is back up for grabs. Marc's dad was going to take it, but decided he would use Marc's spare if needed. Marc even tried a 50/50 with his dad, but he would not grab. I am sure Marc will confirm that this is a deal and a half.

This is an excellent deal on a great motor. If you have an older D2 this has nearly everything you need for a drop-in replacement. If you have a D1 then there are a bunch of parts to sell to fund your project and the core long-block withh still work.

Its not just the motor. It includes the headers, entire ignition, spark plugs, injectors, fuel-air system. Everything. I cut it out of the rolled truck complete and I believe the only parts not there are the alternator. The A/C compressor is on my workebench.

I need the space and the wife wants it gone. Someone take this quick or I am droppping it off at a mechanics shop this week.

Thanks,

hmmm.. have you done a compression test or leakdown , also what year is it? That is about 100000 less miles than mine has.

When you say headers is it the stock exhaust manifold or aftermarket headers?

 

[Archerdisco]

What year DII is it out of? Can you post a pic or two.

 

[curtis]

Sorry for the delay, but I have been out of town.

DiscoJon - no - I have had no reason to do that. The motor ran super strong until the day the truck was rolled. I started it after that and it ran fine.

Cambo - stock exhaust. This motor is 100% stock.

Archerdisco - it is out of an '00. I will try to post pics later. You will see that this is a very clean engine with no leaks.

My Nievete...
Does that fit a D1?
You mention a bunch of parts that we don't need....but the engine intrigues me as mine is blowing coolant pretty badly these days when pushed.

[curtis]

Yes, it will fit a D1. You will have to use some of your old parts. Some years just the intake assembly and ancillary parts. Pre-96 you can add the ignition system to that list.

Curtis, thanks for the reply.
What was the hp on the 00 engine? I was dune-ing this weekend and realized if I am doing an engine swap its going to involve more HP....as this was bogging down - then sinking.

[edthediscoman]

BTW, I have a 94....new to Rovers, not engine removal/installs....otherwise i would not even consider doing a swap.

 

[curtis]

Not sure - its a bit more than the 94, but the main HP gain you will realize will be from a newer motor. Since your uses the older ignition system the stated horsepoer will probably be the same or similar.

 

[edthediscoman]

Well, I will investigate this further, if you are getting rid of it just to get rid of it, I can have it picked up whenever you want, and get it stored locally in Salty Lake, whether I use it or not. I just don't want to see an engine dissapear off the market. My brother lives in Sandy (and a couple of other buddies locally too) and he drives a 4wd van that can get it. So...while I investigate, and see what's the best alternative to get more HP (whether it be adding a cam etc), if you decide to scrap it, or get rid of it, let me know, and I can have someone over there in a few hours.
