Well, after 2 days of wrenching, my new 401 is in and running. MAN what a difference. no smoke, no leaks...

hehe.. now people wont know im coming, and wont be able to tell ive been there :)

Sweet dude!

Did you rebuild it, or just "go through it" and leave what was good?

was bought as a "rebuilt"crate motor . verified forged crank and rods, checked valves, etc, but didnt break it down again. got 1 year, 12000 mile warranty with it... hehe.. and my jeep hasnt seen 1000 miles in the last 4 years !! (trailer queen).

its STRONG. scared the #$%@! outta me pulling out of my garage....
