Head swap was a success! Runs great. The coil pack mounting was cake. I used the 96 head gasket, head bolts, OE thermostat and housing gasket, and valve cover gasket. The intake/exhaust was for the 2000 (exhaust ports are to big on the 96 gasket). The 0331 head was not cracked that I could see but maybe once it warms up it opens up..idk. I think it just pop the head gasket, I still used the 0630.

I have a feeling we are going to have to do this to my Patriot blue 2000 Jeep Cherokee.
