I did it, the best addition I've done to my motor! I had the motor rebuilt, and then added the MPI kit fresh. You won't be dissapointed! I posted a few pictures on my jeeps.com web site. www.jprtroy.jeepz.com hopefully that'll work. When my install was finished, I noticed that the throttle return spring was real soft, I had to add a stiffer rate spring to the return. Othedr than that, the kit has been flawless!
You may run into issues trying to reuse the stock exhaust manifold I had already purchased a Borla header to install, because I knew I wasn't going to reuse the stock manifold. The problem will arrise when you try to seperate the intake and exhaust from each other.
As far as doing the work your self, the instructions are good. I've done all the work on my jeep since the 80's so installing it myself was no problem. If you are comfortable working on you jeep, you will be able to install this kit.
No more hesitation, no "poping" no more stalling on long hill climbs, should you stall in a rock garden, it will start (big plus) It'll even run on it's side (personal experience)
The kit does NOT come with a harmonic balancer. You have to get it seperatly. Your application may not require you to change it though (mine did)
I've tried the "throttle body" style fuel injection, it worked, (only cuz the mopar kit wasn't available yet!) but it can't compare to the Multi-Port Fuel injection!
(think I like mine?)
I tell you, my motor is as responsive as a freakin "pocket rocket" motorcycle engin now!
:-D And it looks cool under the hood too!
