I took the road less traveled. Now I'm LOST.

Rhett, the new engine should come with a gasket kit, and whomever you buy it from will prolly require you to replace some components to satisfy the warranty requirements.

Your list looks great BTW

Yeah, I actually have two dozen cans at home. I bought them when they were on clearance at Wal-Mart for $3.88 a can. I was calculating the cost of labor to charge the system and replace any o-rings, etc. I’m being somewhat liberal in my estimates because I’m saving my cash flow and I don’t want to be disappointed by falling short, LOL. I’ve learned that auto projects always cost more than projected. Something unexpected will bite me in the butt, it always does.

Yeah Rhett, my 1600.00 4.0 actually ended up costing almost 2100 by the time of new fluids, a starter, and other stuff, thank goodness my Optima was under warranty

Yep, that's usually how it goes. Oh, and you reminded me, I'm going to add a Starter to the list.

I shouldn't need a new ECM as long as mine is working fine; however, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a spare one.



I'm probably going with the Banks header



Oh yes, I will add those to the list. I'm definitely replacing mine.



I’m not sure which remanufactured engine I’m going with. I’ll start comparing the different engine manufactures when I’m ready to make the swap. I'm not trying to rush this, LOL............ Hopefully my original motor can last another year or longer. I just don't want to be caught with my pants down, so I'm preparing for the worst.

sounds good. also try find the new heads from the 03-06 wranglers. they changed just a tad bit and offer better flow, same with the manifold. Pretty much you are going to have everything from the org to change over.
