I had a thread with pics but I can't find it Confused

Anyways, he had a guy over in Alabama fix it, sorta, to where it would drive around. But it was still burning oil bad.

So we went down there and I tried to drive it...got up to about 45mph. There just isn't any compression. It sucks Frown So we're going to find another 2.5L from about then and probably swap out the motor ourselves. We could rebuild the current one, but it's too much of a hassle and I'm willing to bet it's pretty screwed up from running with no oil for a long time.

I really wish the I6 or the 304 V8 would go in, but from what we've heard it's a PITA, and we don't need power that bad.

We might even take the tub off and clean up the frame cause it needs it.

I'd make the I6 work. Jeep 4 bangers suck bad.
