2001 xj bad engine, need advice on what 4.0 to look for. thx
2001 Cherokee, coil pack
hey all I just picked up a beautiful 2001 xj for $400!! pulled the head hoping it needing a head and found there was missing a piston in cyclinder #5.
So, now on to looking for an motor. I have a 99 with the .0331 head and I replaced it with a Clearwater head but with this being a coil pack engine not sure which engine to buy.
1- find a junkyard motor from xj with coil pack(don't really want to bc ill just have to switch the bad .0331 head later anyways)
2- try finding a engine outta grand Cherokee, wrangler from 02-06 I believe. Not sure if everything will bolt up
3-get an older xj motor and covert coil to distributer (which seems hard to do)
basically Im on a budget as most are and ive searched the web looking for which wrangler/grand Cherokees would bolt up to my 2001 xj but had no luck.
Thanks for reading

and the simple answer is find a coil pack wrecked XJ and put that motor in but that dang .0331 bad head issue is something i don't wanna run into again.
plus don't have money to but motor then turn around and buy a new Clearwater head in. I have a DD/trail rig now that's hard enough to keep up with let alone two lol just looking for cheapest route.
