Default Questons!! Got 2 Extra late model 4.0L engines today. SCORE

I was at my customer garage today and he sold me two late model 4.0L engines with blowing head gaskets. There are complete engines

I think will we rebuild them and have some extra engines.

Questions Are all 4.0L blocks the same. i know the heads are different.

96+ have girdles mounted over the crank bearing caps that stiffen up the block. Kind of like a unibody stiffener. These can be used in any year 4.0 block too. How ever, when stroking the engine, you must use 5/16 washers to space the girdle or the crank will contact it.
