will a pre-2000 4.0 bottom end swap into a 2000 XJ?
I just rebuilt the top end of my 2000 XJ's 4.0 only to find that the bottom end is also hosed. I can't find a 2000 4.0 to swap in so I'm looking for options. Will a pre 2000 4.0 swap in if I use my 2000 head? Does the engine have to come from an XJ? I can get a '93 4.0 w 100k for $350 should I go for that or get the '99 w/40k I found for $650? What do you guys think?
Thanks for any help.
