I asked why my jeep was heating up a couple days ago. Got my answer today and I'm pretty bummed. Cracked head. Ouch. I had a feeling, but I was trying to keep spirits up. Everything makes sense now, things happen I guess .
So, the only thing to do is figure out what I'm going to do. It's too nice to scrap, I'm not going to get squat if I were to part out. The motor is shot, not worth it to try and rebuild, so the only thing I can think of is motor swap.
I am now officially in the market for a used motor. I'll take what I can get cheap. I would like to put another 4 cylinder in it and sell it this fall, but if I were to find a 4.0 in nice shape, or maybe even something bigger, I could see keeping it.
Any suggestions on where to start looking for a new power plant on the net? I've got a few things to check out locally, some people to talk to. Junk yards, you know... but anything would help.
