Yep, it's ready for the machine shop:



I built a wooden shipping stand, packed in the remanufactured crank (original one destroyed by previous owner's attempt to change the timing belt), rear seal, replacement oilpump and the '96 FSM just for the heck of it.

(so I won't be responding with FSM quotes for a few days...  )

Although it is tempting to stick it (EFI and all) in the Samurai when it is done, I kinda like the thought of having a cushy, loaded  4-door JLX for a daily driver -- besides, the Samurai already has a 1.6 8-valve...
