[QUOTE="GOIRISH, post: 438330, member: 20442"] Any clue on various options and costs? Flying blind here. Jeep is sitting safely in garage. Still runs just sounds bad. Haven't taken it to a shop yet b/c the wife and I are trying to figure out best course of action and money is a factor. Its a toy and we aren't rich - so lets start there. If I was super handy Id rebuild myself. Whatever I do Im gonna need a shop to do it for me. Options I see are: 1- Find a used engine (none around me on CL or FB marketplace) and pay a shop to drop it in - probably the cheapest. Cost???? 2-Buy a reman engine and do the same - Looking online there dont appear to be 4.2s in stock anymore at Autozone etc. though. Otherwise Im guessing about 4k right??? 3-Swap some other sort of engine in??? No clue on this one - seems like the choices and costs are endless. Can I drop a 4.0 into it if it came with the FI and computer? Easier and cheaper to drop a chevy engine or something in there and keep it carbonated? Please keep it super simple. What Im looking for here is just a point in the right direction. I have no clue my options and the costs. But again - this is a toy not my daily driver. I cant do this level of work so Id have to pay. Still contemplating selling it as is and recouping a little money. Maybe trading in my crummy car and using the cash as a down payment on a used jeep for a daily driver. But Id like to avoid a car payment. I am a teacher so I have the summer free and can run around and get stuff done. But Ill probably need to save up cash and just keep the jeep safe in the garage until next spring either way.
