Alright, got a good one for ya .... looking at this...

1989 - 4.2 - 124k miles, no top and no air - $3000

It has a oil leak, the motor is covered in sludge so I cant tell where its coming from.
The "no air" part bugs me a lil, but it is the cleanest body/frame I
have ever seen on a YJ.

Should I go for it? (I think it would look good w' a ZoSo sticker on it)

I have seen where an HEI upgrade and new Weber do the trick.

What is Ross running?
HEI ans weber are the cure.It was also the first upgrade I did to my last CJ. You need to make sure you have the right intake for the 2 barrel Weber though.If not,you can find one pretty easy.
 
OK... I am looking at $1500 to make it reliable ...
