Default kind of big prob. (cracked block)

just bought a '95 Cherokee sport, which was badly leaking oil from the oil filter housing, which the three rings were replaced, but in the process, it was diagnosed that the block is cracked in three places by the passenger side motor mount... now here's the thing, since i just bought it, and i have no money to repair it, since i spent every dime i had on it, or sell it for a grand and buy another one for lets say, $3500... what should i do? sell it? or run it 'til it dies?

Motors are easy to come by if you have the 4.0

If you can do the work yourself, that'd be the way to go.

What condition is it in? If its a nice one keep it. You can get a remanufactured engine for 1800ish shipped. +whatever labor is? 1000? And you have a Jeep with 0 miles for the same price as your new jeep! Used motor will be much less, if you can do the labor yourself.. you'll be back in business for around 500.
