This is a 2000 4.0 that I picked up for the head only but while I was at it I decided to tear down the block and clean/inspect it. It has all been cleaned up and will need a engine kit(bearings, rings, gaskets, cam, freeze plugs, etc), the crank will need to be polished but only a little. One piston will need replacing, it has a very slight crack in the skirt which did no damage to the cylinder.
This would be a good start to a stroker!
This 4.0 came out of a TJ or a WJ.
A local member has first dibs on it but I have not heard from him in a while so its up for sale(unless he contacts me first)
$100
Local pick up only!
Here are some pics;

This was the worst looking main bearing, #1

This what the rest of the mains look like

I would recommend re-tanking the block and getting it magna-fluxed before any machine work is done just in case there is a hidden crack some where, but I have not seen any damage to the block.
