I have a low mileage 5.9 Magnum engine from a 2000 Dodge Durango. I bought it from Israel on here for my TJ, but well, you know the story. He put it in his 2005 Grand Cherokee but then toasted the tranny and it sat for a while. The engine comes with the wiring harness from the 2005 Grand, and also the toasted 44RH tranny.Asking $500.

Slight corrections, but it came out of a 2000 Dodge Van, was put in my 1995 Grand Cherokee, has the 1995 Grand Cherokee harness and ECU with it, and comes with a 46RH transmission that I ran low on fluid. :greg:
It has a fastman (pretty sure on the brand) bored out throttle body, 1/4" thick aluminum pan on the intake to eliminate vacuum leaks through the bottom of the intake, MSD coil pack, and hogged out intake for improved top end.

That's right. You needed a newer ECU.
Long story
This guy calls me last week and says he'll buy the motor and to hold it until Monday. I do and text him Sunday night to make sure he's coming. I ask him to let me know when he'll be down and tell him the only time I cant make it home is from 1 to 2. He calls from Salt Lake about 10:45 and says he's on his way. I take off work, go home and change, lift the motor on the hoist and pull it out of the garage. I don't hear a word. I call at 12:40 and he says that he's in Ogden and will be down at 2:00. I'm pissed but I say okay. I change, go back to work, then come back home at 2:00. No show. I call at 2:30 and he doesn't answer. I call again, no answer. I finally get fed up and send him a text saying that I was guessing he was backing out and heading home and thanks for wasting my time. He texts back at about 2:45 saying I was rude and he was with a customer and he came down from Idaho mainly for the motor. I answer back, great, are you coming down to get it? He replies no, he doesn't deal with rude people. He's at Hooters. The conversation went down hill from there. What a dumb a$$. My guess is he didn't have the money after all his other stops and he was just jacking me around. I hate dealing with losers.
Don't think I'd run the ax15 with it, but for the price I don't think you can do it cheaper. I was going to buy the motor mounts and have Matt weld them in and mount the motor. Then take it home and do the wiring and the rest of the install myself.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people assume that they can show up whenever they want and you'll just be sitting there patiently waiting for them to show
^^i know whenever i am going to pick up something i am buying from someone i make sure that i am there when we agreed upon. with cash in hand before i even call. i've had the whole "i'll come get it friday" you know they need to get paid first, half the time they don't show and make some excuse. probably because they didn't have as much to spare as they thought

is this a good compatible swap to a th400 in place of an AMC 360?

If you got the appropriate adapters it might be a good swap, but swap the Quadratrac out at the same time.

Wish I had the money for this. Would be a great replacement for my old 5.2 thats tired. Good luck with the sale.
