FOR SALE: running SD-22 w/ extras

[weezle_deezle]

Heya All,
A few years ago I built an awesome SD-22 based powertrain for my Jeep XJ Wagoneer. I was hoping to drive the truck for another 300+K miles, but the frame on the jeep broke last year- so I wanna sell the engine/trannny/transfer case unit to someone who can appreciate the hard work I put in. I have too many projects to work on to be able to work on this on any more- and now I have a 93 dodge/cummins 4x4.
The engine had a full valve and head job less than 5k miles ago, has a new starter, new glowplugs (and a new set for later), custom intake and exhaust made for the new mitsubishi TC-05 turbo I put on it (turbo good!!). A six row serpentine belt runs the power steering, a BIG delco alternator and an air pump to make crankcase vacuum. I installed a centerforce clutch to connect the engine to the borg-warner T-5 transmission (very tough five speed). This powertrain was handbuilt with lots of care and love and all the best parts. I go out every couple weeks and bounce the engine off of compression with the alternator pulley. I was getting 36-40 mpg average, and this little powerplant would push my jeep up hills that my friends jeeps with hopped up 4.0l couldn't get up. I have always run the top of the line lubricants in my vehicles- this one is no exception. I was trying to get $5000 US for the whole unit, but I will give serious thought to any reasonable offer. The engine is still in the jeep, so its safe and protected from the elements- I'd prefer if you took the entire truck- it makes nice engine storage. It would be great it if this powerplant could find a new home with a person who would continue to appreciate it the way I do- I'd hate to see it just sit and rot. I'm in southern Colorado, and will be happy to provide pics and more info to anyone interested.

If you don't find a serious $$$ buyer, give me a PM. I can't make a serious $$$ value offer, but I have a bare (no drive train, had a 4.0 that blew up) 89 jeep body, stock 2 wd Cherokee, and a place to work on a swap. Time to work on it might be an issue, but it sure sounds like one I would hate to pass up, if the price came WAY, way down. I am posting a link on NAXJA for ya!!!!

Shame you are not in Houston!!!

What exactly is wrong with the frame????

Do you still have this Jeep and sd22? I would like to see some pictures. How many miles on the sd22? I have a 1981 datsun with around 300,000 miles on the engine. Uses a lot of oil. I picked up another 1981 datsun pickup with a trashed body, but less then 150,000 miles on engine. Your offer sounds inviting, but not the 5 grand. What is the least you would take?

thanks
