ahh, the coveted 21RU.  i've seen a couple of those high performance oddities in some wrecking yards, but by the time i can scrounge up the money to take one home somebody else always grabs them :rivers:

Injected, period!  No stumbling no flooding. Why not an injected 350?

yeah there are TBI 350s in the yards everywhere. While we are on the subject...I had a question bout the TBI setup. It is affected by altitude just like carb, does it have problems with angles like a carb? Altitude affects it because there is no airflow measuring sensors right? My 97 dodge was a freakin turd up at Tahoe but at sea level it could burn 35's no problem. It just needed a HEMI!

Depends on what you wanna do with it.  Do you wanna have it strictly offroad? then the 350, if you want it street legal, depending on where you're at, you may have to go with the 4.3L ( :puke: ) so it'll smog :dunno:

4.3 is plenty for a jeep and it will fit better. Try to get multi port, but TBI will work too.
