Plug and play and you're back on the road.

Sure rebuilding or replacing with a reman is nice, but it is expensive and considering what the vehicle is worth, this option can get you upside down financially on that vehicle quickly.

I don't think most of us would ever get out what we have into our XJs anyway. LOL I would look at what I could get for it with a blown up mill compared to what I could get with it running with a newly rebuilt one. I did do a JY engine swap on a chevy LUV that I had and got another 50K miles if that says anything.
