What years are the best 4.0 to look for
I may be looking for a replacement engine and was wondering what years are the best for the 4.0 straight 6 that will work in my 94 JGC.
Thanks,
Miles

I'd look for the early 4.0s (late 1980s to 1994) because they have 190 horsepower, whereas the later 4.0s from 1995-2004 have 185 horsepower. Good luck, they're easy to find (:

And your year break up doesn't make sense.

If I where you id go to a(u-pull it) junkyard and get a engine from a 96to99 but pull the cylinder head off and then find another one from 90-95(7120 casting) and pull that cylinder head off temporary put em together and pay for complete engine, its gonna be alot of work and might sound a little crazy but your going to have the best 4.0 combo!

Question, Gentlemen! What year was it they changed the motor mounts? Remember it's going into a 94.

You can not use 87 - 90 4.0 in a 94 as these are Renix engines. Use the engines as per the previous post, just remember 99 up 4.0 is where the mounts were changed.
