$440, sweet deal. I can excuse a lot of touchup work for less than half a $grand.

That AMC 2.5 is a tough engine. Not big power, but just sturdy. It's essentially a 4.0 with the two middle cylinders sawed out. I fantasized about building a stroker version of one but there's no parts support to make it happen. I'd have to get the crank made custom - high dollar for modest gain, and I don't even own a Jeep, so it's only a castle in the air.
