Not me. Actually grabbed the part number from ECS, and just ordered a new one though our parts dept. I get parts at cost, so was nearly the same price as that eBay one.That is my next project after installing oil cooler.
Are you the one that snatched that Euro Box from eBay that was going on for $299?
Aha, OK, good to know. Mine is manual so maybe it is different response, but will definitely go Euro box.
Cool engine, love the timing chain in the center. I, however, would not want to be tasked with syncing 6 carburetors.
Might want to try a Wrangler fan clutch as well. It bolts on the same and gives a little extra cooling for extra margin. Also use a Scangauge or similar to monitor real-time since the dash gauge doesn’t track with temp very well.
Might also be of interest... some madlad frankenstein'd two CBX engines into one V12. Then put said v12 back into a motorcycle.

I also use a scan gauge II to monitor temps, but I don't think a Wrangler/ZJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L fan clutch is needed unless the conditions are extreme such as desert running or lots of slow speed rock crawling. The ZJ/TJ fan clutch just never unlocks since the XJ fan is smaller, and it becomes really annoying and noisy. Fuel mileage and acceleration will suffer as well.
That's the 300, probably the most mentioned engine in this thread.
The SR20DET made a lighter and more balanced car. It was also a lot more money at the time. My 240 got an S14 blacktop swap, about $3k at the time, and the RB20 was $1000 and went into a $1200 240. Again this was a long time ago when you could still buy those cars. I believe the best swap might be the RB25DET if you can do it all well like Saabkyle’s build for example.
