Ok so I’m planning on getting a high mileage XJ. I planned on doing a 4.0l replacement engine almost immediately. What brand motors would you recommend? No LS swaps. Nothing crazy. Which 4.0l crate motor is the best?

Q: U sure the motor needs to be replaced. Those 4.0's seem to run forever if maintained. I'd do a quick and easy compression check 1st.Ok so I’m planning on getting a high mileage XJ.

darn it. I have a '98 LOL.And a leak down test.
If it’s a 97-01 it probably already got a new motor because those were junk from the factory.

Theres exceptions to everything, but the '99 was my favorite of the 6 XJ"s I owned.darn it. I have a '98 LOL.
Just got it from my neighbor. Has about 100k miles on it. Doing some stuff before I take it and leave it at our beach house in FL. New off road tires, shocks and air adj shocks for back (towing a boat to the ramps), PS pump (this one is noisy and sometimes is tight to steer), etc.
Gulf Co FL lets you purchase a beach driving permit and you can literally drive right up to the water. No carrying a bunch of crap in the sand. LOL
