Yes really because you make vague mention of it and don't give any details.

Thing is I don't know anymore and it's not mine.
Small world, indeed! My wife was the one who spotted the beast as we were driving down the road. It was a pleasure to meet you, Troy!
Here's what's up with the V8 swap; it obviously can be done properly, but you have to be prepared to dedicate your KJ to becoming a full-time toy - which was the ultimate goal. It isn't a practical daily driver unless you love spending money at the pump. You will ruin your ride if you do this and are not prepared to make it anything other than a play thing.
My plan was to SFA it but the person that I paid to make the kit ran off with all my money and never delivered on a single thing ($$$). I ended up getting rid of it as a result. It was a sad day to see it go.
No longer into Jeeps after having gone through that.

That was a great build that I thoroughly enjoyed following. So thank you for being the ONLY non-vague V8 swapper out there. And thank you for sharing your expertise and opinion.
