what years have the newer mpfi? and i found a complete 2.5 engine out of a 97 for $400. is that a good price? or should i keep looking?

ok so first off i know this is going to sound ridiculous but just humor me. ok so i found a comanche today, its an 86, 4x4, 5-speed, with the v 6 engine, and amc rear d30 front. so i am looking specifically for a 4 cylinder due to its ability to get 25ish mpg. so... how hard and what issues am i going to run into if i bought this thing and then swapped in a 4 cyl? I'm pretty sure its got 3.55 gears which I'm sure will be an issue... but yall let me know what you think? is it even feasible or am i hanging out in imagination land?

i want to say pumpkin orange but i am not sure... it is krylon and i got it at wal mart. i will check the actual name of the can tomorrow for ya.

yes jeremy ive got your emails ive been calling folks but nothing yet... and as far as that kid with the whiteone, he is a douche. i told him i would give him 2200 which compared to everything i have seen everywhere else, and what kelley blue book says, is way more than i should and he told me and i quote "well i have seen others comanches go for 4000 so unless you have something to go with that 2200 like an old civic or something no deal" i was like WTF? i had to to everything i could to not send that guy one hell of a mean @$$ email. so i just sent him pictures and prices of every comanche in the area. then sent him links to kelly blue book, and told him that unless his engine bay is lined with gold and diamonds that he was never gonna get that, and good luck with the sale. some people just think their stuff is better and worth more just for the hell of it, whatever though, somewhere out there my comanche awaits, i will just have to wait longer i guess.

yep def get the handle, not only will it make things easier it will save your finger from cramping like crazy. and as far as primer goes... you don't really need it unless your paint is all uneven to begin with. when i sprayed mine it had paint peel all over the hood and roof, and most of the front clip was all mismatched body panels, i primered it and it came out fine.

na you need to come down to the ATL. we got wheels on everything

ya thats what i said. so when i come to him i wanted to have a reasonable offer but who knows, this guys idea of reasonable probably isnt.

yes that is my jeep, and sadly its time to retire her from her duties as a daily driver. but yes i know about most jeep issues and can look for that but i didnt know if there were any major comanche specific issues. but thatnks everyone for the info i will definitley keep it in mind as i am looking also i found this one on craigslist http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/627121771.html its looks like it is in great condition overall clean but i just don't see it being worth $3300. what do you think would be a good offer to give to this guy? I'm not trying to low ball the dude or anything its just when all the other comanche i have seen are going for $800-1200 this one makes me scratch my head

ok so I'm new to this forum and i don't actually ave a comanche, yet, but i am workin on it. so i am looking for a comanche right now and figured i would ask you guys about anything in particular i need to look out for. is there anything major that i should check for or stay away from? any help is greatly appreciated. also if anyone has a comanche they are teying to sell in the ga area let me know.
