OK, I've spent a bit of time searching the forum. Got some good ideas. But need more.
I am looking at a 401 out of a FSJ. Ran when pulled, had less than 80K miles but smoked a bit on start up.
I don't think it needs a complete rebuild. Just a "freshining up". Any suggestions?
It's going in a CJ6 with a T18-D20, D44-60, 4.56's, locked front and rear. Going to put 39's or a bit larger. I want a reliable engine. I don't need to build the engine too much. Not in a cj6 with a t18. It's hard to speed shift a truck tranny.
But I need suggestions. I have not seen the engine yet and I want to see the 401 on the side before I believe it. Dude want's 500 bucks.
SO with the description, and no pressure test, what is your best guess as to the shape of the motor?
What do I need to do to it to freshen it up without tearing it apart? Should I change the oil pump out? Timing gears? etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
