It has been a long project. When i first met robert he asked if i could help him put a motor in his comanche, I refered him to this site and said sure. when he drug the truck and the motor to my house, First the truck looked like it had just came from the junk yars and a second after pulling the valve cover on the WJ 4.0 he brought it had 3" of sluge on every thing. I called him and told him either scrap the idea or buy a good running donor... With the limited mechanical skills at the time that he met me, I have to say i am amazed that he made the right decision, and dident sell me the truck, and bought a bad @$$ donor. Robert could almost do the swap him self now ant the truck speaks for its self. It is in no way finished but it is getting there little by little... and best of all he is driving it agian...
