crate engine. exploring options
I keep throwing money at my engine and **** just keeps going wrong. plus there is visible layers of thick gunk built up all inside the block and I'm convinced it's the cause behind my overheating issues. I've thrown well over a grand at it and parts keep breaking. maybe it's a lemon 4.0? don't care
I'd rather just swap in a crate engine. I'm not interested in a stroker I just want a reliable, predictable, long lasting, clean 4.0
I read that NAPA auto parts has one (but their site is being stupid). where is the best place to get an engine for just over $1000?
thoughts?

Chrysler has short blocks for around $2700. Yes, short block.
