    4.0 motor for an XJ

    I'm looking for a 4.0 for my brother's cherokee, its a 97 I believe, he somehow snapped the timing chain. Its got 165k+ on it so I figured it would just be easier to swap in a lower mileage motor then try and rebuild the one thats in it. The reason for this is that I'm only home for six days after my two weeks at work and I'd rather not try and half ass rebuild it only to have it blow up after a week. Anyone have any leads on a motor? And no I haven't called the junk yards yet, just figured I'd ask here first. Thanks guys

    I may be interested here soon in one of these many available ones that don't sell to the original poster. (Engine in my red YJ's bottom end is starting to knock on start up & rattle a bit when coming down from high RPM)

    I'll check and get back to you. It's high miles but it ran when I got it. I pulled it on the trailer under it's own power. The fuel pump has since failed so it won't start.

    It's mising the PS pump, steering box, NSS, and maybe some other stuff. The tranny is bad and the interior makes you want to puke from the smell of mouse piss. Sold with a salvage title for parts only.
