Hi Hank,
Probably not great. There are so few of these on the market that it’s hard to get a solid handle on how good or bad they are. The engine was donated from an old Mitsubishi, so in basic mechanical terms it should be OK, but Jeep does not have the best reputation for solidity of build, so expect lots of small, niggling issues. If it doesn’t have a full and complete service history, that should raise some alarm bells.
