A few phone calls, a trip to the storage center, and $500.00 (Her asking price, not me low balling
) and I came home with "Ol' Yeller"The good: 2000 Wrangler Sport, 4.0, 5 speed, less than 87K
, PS/PB/AC, black soft top, clean interior, NO ROT! I mean only some surface rust on the body (see pics) and the frame has more black than "reddish brown" on it still 
The bad: Both door uppers and rear window are shot, no radio (wasn't gonna pay an extra $200 for the mystery JVC unit it had), it MIGHT need a new cam/lifters/oil pump, 3 out of 4 corners need some body work, missing one fog light, sway bar links are shot, and it has the Dana turdy-5 rear axle.
Here's some pics of the bad stuff.....
That's the worst of the windows.
and I was starting to think it was suffering from "0331 disease" when I saw the sludge. Wiped down the head between #3 and #4 didn't see any cracks and when I popped the drain plug there was no sign of H20, just oil that had reverted back to crude 
One shiny piston and five dirty ones tell you something was going on! On the plus side, none of the bores are scored to hell unlike the last engine 
Look close and you can see the some of the guts to the "dancing pushrod's" lifter!!!!
Gotta drop the oil pan and take look see at the main and rod bearings 
IF they check out, I can get a new lifter and head then call it a day. If the crank is shot, I might be able to play musical cranks with the one from Blue Cross' old block.
