Default Inline 6 cyl 4.0 Crate Engine?

Can we buy a replacement engine for our Cherokee's? I can't locate them anywhere. Has anyone done this? If so, where's a good place to buy? Thx

depending on how much you are wanting to spend, chrysler is going to offering a 4.0 that is worked over and stroked to a 4.7, i checked into and it will be offered soon, prob june it will also be offered from summit i believe. ive got a part number for it, btw its not too cheap but not too bad .
