SOOO my cherokee finally threw a bearing on the crankshaft after destroying it at down south and it needs a new heart. If someone has a engine that is running well with a low amount of miles let me know. I could just buy a brand new or rebuilt long block and swap parts over, but all that is beyond me....
Let me know what you have, Thanks.

Get a reman long block and swap your parts over. There's some places in houston that have really good prices.
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
cooks in town will take the old engiene and stroke it to a 4.7 for 2k. My buddy is doing it now.
1988 Comanche auto, 4.0, 4x4, 8.8 rear trussed, Dana 30 trussed, SYE np231, Serious Offroad long arms, 9.5" of lift, 35's, lockers
I hope your buddy has a good experience but cooks is pretty well known for shoddy work, I would recommend against using them for anything.

Didn't know that. I'll be reporting back as to how well it was done when he gets it back.

I worked at Cooks for a couple years and I disagree with that.Originally Posted by Sparling
I say their machine work is good. They use cheap parts (ill give you that) but I guarantee those "cheaper places in Houston" use just as cheap of parts.....
I would be interested to know what parts they are using for the striker kit.
Times have probably changed. I know several shops in the B/CS area wouldn't do business with cooks when I worked at advance. Only thing I ever had done there was some bead blasting and I got my parts back all rusted from them handling it with their hands.

I wouldn't mind getting it rebuilt for the money, but having a fresh engine would be ideal. I would love to do a V8 swap but then I'm taking serious money...
I've got a ZJ 5.2 with harness and computer sitting on the garage floor just waiting for the right guy to sweep it off it's feet!

Would that just about bolt right up to my stock trans or what?
What trans do you have? I think you have to swap bellhousings with a dakota 3.9 v6.

It's a 2000 XJ classic. I believe it has the AW-4 under it. I could be wrong. When I go home this weekend to move it to a friends ranch I'll try and get more information.
Will a '93 work? It runs, no clue on miles but can do burnouts. $300
