It is fairly hard to find information unless you are in the industry of boat builders, as they will normally just list specs and often not exactly what was used, but they also have to file paperwork with RINA, Lloyd’s, EU declaration... I know that Fratelli Aprea, Sciallino, Cantiere Navale...

Thats good enough for me I reckon

I believe the VM Motori Marine version of the 3.0 was the MR 506 SH3

That may not always be an option though... the blocks do often get damaged when it goes.

That is most definitely not my intention. I think have fun now 😅 not bad being aware though, not that one can do or know anything for certain

You are right I keep callin the crank the cam sensor... not that the xj even has one 🤣😅 corrected it I was banking on standard motors and wells acdelco etc parts, a few crown (i know they are scheite, but better than nothing i thought) but I am starting to motivate my contacts to start pulling...

Well in Germany and EU we are struggling to get parts for JK 2.8 VM and JL2.2 VM Engines,... not to mention we are paying insane cost on the parts that do exist when they make it through the distribution network of Jeep, as they have a firm grip on supply. I suspect the 3.0 will not be different

Often it is a numbers game, and some people are unlucky and have the one that will fail... that being said, the engines all have insane tight tolerances and are made of materials that when it goes, it goes badly. I am no expert, but I would see what bargains I can make,... maybe get some low...

There are def more eco diesels available and they are still somewhat affordable... Their 2.2 had a bad design or bad seal material choice, depending on how one looks at it... mate was able to repair his damaged one... it cost a lot, and he still has the order live from a year ago for a...

Definitely a little low for a heavy vehicle

Now that would be exciting :rock:

According to reports the VM motori group stopped developement and production for vehicle application in 2022 and redirected their focus on industrial marine engines and generators. I am sure emissions regulations are not yet that tight and the challanges are lower. There are older and other...

https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/stellantis-sells-engine-making-plant-italy-group-industrial-investors-2025-09-10/ Seems like this explains some of the decisions Stellantis made with the Diesel Engine choices

Very cool and thank you for sharing. I was planning something similar but not as professional. Just wanted to get a molle panel laser cut, bend the cornsers with this old folding machine we have in the attic and use factory mounting spots all the pro overhead molly systems use. Very excited to...

Thank you That reservoir seems to be a pressurized one. Will have that on my spares list for sure. Thank you. Awesome that none of the replacements are expensive and very few things are hard to come by. Was just able to conform first reg was 12/1987 but it is an 88 What I habe with me...

It would be very hard, cost a ton and you would have to meet or better the emission criterias from the models of 3.0 2020. It would be cheaper to put a 392, cost about 75 thousand Euro... At that cost you can easily import a 3.0 Rubi or Mojave and should be able to get emissions past and...

This is Harald the Kanadian XJ 1987 (made some mistakes with the date earlier. Pics are the owners, verbally I have agreed, obviously money for vehicle papers and keys is what really matters :) But so far everything is organised.

I think these are the reasons I am having a hard time. Us and our way

Thank you all for sure. Yeah, I opened a can with the xj... A friend who kind of collect them now offered me a 4 door xj 4x4 2000 black near stock in very good condition with even a parking heater... heck I thought I knew a thing or two about xjs It sure is. The torque is amazing, mpg...

Op included a picture and that's why I did not go into the conundrum that is jeep configuration, assemplby and parts situation.
