Ok, some how, my valve lifter shot out of the engine block. I'm guessing that I will need a new block/engine. I have a 1994 4door 4.0L HO with auto transmission and a NP231 transfer case. I don't want to get rid of her, since she has a hell lot of mods/money put into her. Here's my options so far (or, do you have any other options/sugggestions):
1. my brother has a complete chevy 350 motor that he'll give to me for free, but i live in alaska, he's in washington.
2. take it to the dealer, see what they can do
3. buy a new (remanufactured) engine block assembly and install myself
i would feel the most comfortable putting in a new 4.0L engine than the other two options. i'm going to iraq mid-august, i would like to have this complete before then. please, any help would be appreciated.
