You threw a rod! You'll need a motor.

Rebuild yes, if no significant internal damage was done. Oil pan is definately shot. Hey, it might be a good time to bore & stroke it! Pick up a used motor from a junk yard.

You won't be able to tell if it is rebuildable until it is totally torn down. Odds are it is hosed.

A stroker requires a good block. Yours is most likely shot. Do a search on strokers or go over to yahoo's groups and hit the stroker group.

My advice? Learn to spell and stop letting your friends tell you how to drive your vehicle. You very likely sucked in some amount of water when tearing through that hole and you just found out the hard way that water isn't intended inside the 4.0L engine. It doesn't compress as well as an air-fuel mixture, and when it does fire, the volume of steam created per unit volume of water is far more than the air-fuel mixture can provide. This probably helped fling your rod through the oilpan.
