Car: 1997 Jeep Wrangler
Engine: 4.0L
Transmission: 5 speed
Axle/Gears: 8.8 rear, 4.56 gears, 4:1 transfer
Well, it can't be best of everything because there are cranks/rods that cost $2000US.
Also, they sound like they are selling JUST the engine, no installation included. It's the same as if you bought any part for your car. No-one's going to install the part for the purchase price.

For our Canadian dollar that is a decent price. Complete drop in usually means EVERYTHING is there, carb, dist, flexplate, water pump. etc. Price out what it would take to get a similar powered crate motor up here. It's a good deal PROVIDED they actually have a dyno sheet that says 425 horse, an that it's not just a guess that it SHOULD make that much power.
