Do they still sell the floor pans for the xj? I'd think you might get most of the way there by using them the modifying the rest to suit the MJ

I don't have to rebuild the motor, but I see oil everywhere haha, so I was thinking that redoing at least the gaskets and getting the head boiled (lots of varnish problems, thanks to the intermediate owner between me and the original owner) would be a good idea, while at the same time swapping in my external slave ax-5 that I have laying around. And as for the tbi, it's something that I'll need to decide on before I get either a new gas tank or have this one lined (probably get  a new one), so I can get all the right parts before putting it back in. I've heard good things about the weber, but it's all gonna come down to the almighty dollar.

 

And you can still get floorpans for the comanche through rock auto, even the full lengths, though I'm unsure of how well they actually fit.

Yeah ever jeep I've owned has leaked oil religiously

On the 2.8 where the oil filter adapter goes to the block is a major source, problem the engine mount has to removed to get at it properly.

 

Valve cover gasket can get something better than the original cork.
