Up for sale is my 1998 Jeep Cherokee with multiple upgrades. They include: -Well built LT1 out of a 95 'Vette-Custom Black/Gray leather interior-Swapped rear axle to handle power-Beefed up 5 speed transmission-PA System (not wired up)-Wired for subs and sound (no speakers included, they work, but not great)-True duals-3" Old Man Emu Lift-Eagle racing wheels-Upgraded A/C system-1.6mm Roller Rockers-Headers-MSD everything-38lb Ford racing injectors-More I know I'm forgetting The Jeep has a new heater core and radiator. This is a CLEAN swap, nothing jerry rigged here. It was built by Keith Valone of Corvette Connections in Florida. When I registered the vehicle, I had them list a mileage discrepancy due to the fact that the Jeep itself has only 88000 miles on the body, but the drivetrain/motor has only 34000. Otherwise it is a clear title. After dealing with Craigslist's finest for a couple of weeks, I've decided to put this up here. This Jeep has roughly $16000 put into the conversions and customizations. I have receipt for all of this, plus for maintenance. I am selling due to some mechanical issues which I will detail. The engine is running rough, and the port from the LT1 wont accept my diagnostic tool. I'm getting good fuel pressure so I think it's a spark issue, but I'm not sure. The motor ran great since I purchased it, but is running rough right now. The motor has some leaks from a couple of gaskets, nothing bad, and the rear axle needs a new gasket on the gear housing. Pardon some of the smudges, but that is all they are. As far as the Autocheck score, its due to the mileage discrepancy which I listed above. For anyone who has wanted to do one of these conversions, all of the hard work has been done for you and then some. Not to mention it was done well. It would not take much to get this running well and have one very unique and fun Cherokee. I have 100% feedback so bid with confidence and thanks for looking, and please make sure to ask any questions before bidding!On Feb-18-13 at 18:06:18 PST, seller added the following information:EDIT: I would like to clear up some questions I've received. This vehicle is being sold AS IS. I've been asked what exactly is wrong, and why I'm selling it. The motor is running rough. When started, it has a choppy idle and is slow to rev. I've been asked if the motor ever ran fine. YES, it ran GREAT since I purchased it until a month ago when it died on me when driving. It will start, but has a rough idle and is slow to rev. EVERYTHING that came out of the donor 'Vette is in the Jeep. However, I can't get a code as either my reader doesn't read, or the port isn't getting power (I believe the latter). The WHY is because I'm not a mechanic, and I don't have the tools or the time. A heater core replacement cost me over 1000 dollars (ripoff? sure, but I couldn't change it), and as someone trying to finish my graduate degree, money is sparse. Let me make myself clear, I'd rather lose a limb then sell this Jeep. It is completely unique, and has brought me nothing but smiles. I'll never have another one like it. I hope that clear up some questions.
