Looks awesome. Sucks about the heads, but should not be tough to find a decent replacement quick. What year?

2000 ... and i've never actually looked at how many miles

i am picking up a used TUPY head tonight for $50 that might need some clean-up from sitting. but i have everything to wet sand the deck if needed, and everything to lap the valves back in. toss my springs and rockers on there if these are dry and make it run.

Just got done the other week putting a TUPY head on a flip Jeep.

Went ahead and pressure washed it (looks mighty clean), new head plug, valve seals, and lapped the valve seats. Not near as bad as I thought it might be (had never done anything but the plug before).

Looks like a nice clean ride...though not sure I'd buy another XJ these days still
