2001 XJ Engine Swap - Suggested New Parts/Upgrades?
Hey folks,
I just pulled my engine and took it to the shop for a rebuild (#1 piston blew up). Do y'all have recommendations on parts that I should replace or upgrade? Below is a list of things I plan to order for the install. Any additions, subtractions, edits, or suggestions are much appreciated!

Well, don’t forget to take a good look at all the stuff you can now see. It’s really nice to take care of rust while sitting on your front axle. Also wiring and break lines are nice and visible. I did do anything special for head shielding some of the things by the header like the diff breather tube but now would be a good time.

Thanks, yeah I spoke to my machine shop when I dropped it off and told them to toss the current head. I think I'm going to order a tupy off Ebay. The edelbrock is nice but too damn spendy.
