i just got my new engine finally put in my cherokee. it was a 96 block and a 95 head. i had the machine work done and did the rebuild my self. this was my first rebuild and it turned out really well. i just put the first 100 miles on it today. i wanted to thank you all for all the advice i have needed along the way. i will have the pics in a few days

 

Great to hear that youve got it up and running. Im sure you already Know this but i try not to assume anything. after a few hundred more miles check the intake and exhaust bolts again. During the break in period they tend to lossen up a tad and drives you nuts whie your wonding how come its idling crappy or racing. Ill be looking into dumping another block in me rig after another 50 to 100k. At the rate that Im putting milage on mine right now thatll be in 5 year time ...lol
