Last night I rolled my cherokee and I broke a hole in the block and the distributor cap got lodged into a cylinder. So the engines done. Minimal body damage the windshield took most of the blow. But I'm lookin for a new motor. Right now I'm trying to decide whether I should get the stock i6 4.0 and bore it out again to a 4.7 or if I should just get a Chevy 350 (they have the same motor mounts.) Any suggestions on which engine or another engine?

 

Also this is what it looks like now after the roll over

 

For your safety and the safety of others around you, get a bicycle.

 

Great advice.

 

lol

 

Pics of the engine? I want to see this distributor cap in the cylinder...

 

I'd like to see that as well.

I'd part it out.

Where are you located?

I'll take the wheels and tires.

 

I'll take the distributor cap

 

I'll part out the motor but I'm keeping the body. Im located in northwest arkansas

 

But I love how I asked for opinions on what engine to get and it turned into a part out! Gotta love this forum

 

Why do you have to be a jerk? He asked about a motor.

I would get another 4.0. I think the .350 might be a little more work. But it's up to you. Both are great options.

 

Thank you, someone who actually helped!

 

A small block swap is a really big job,You have to swap the engine trans and maybe the t case too.Then you have exhaust wiring it and plumbing the fuel and coolant systems.

 

Why do you say this?

 

If you rolled it the unibody could be tweaked now... no use dumping money into a trashed unibody.
