Well, it's finally here: Got to 359,000+ on the original 4.0 engine, but it's made some really bad noises and is parked for the present.

Any recommendations for

where to find the best remanufactured motor

I’m at 260,000 and if seems like it will go a while longer if nothing crazy happens and is maintained.
If mine dies, it’s either a new long block from one of the reputable online sellers or I may have my buddy swap in a Toyota 1UZ-FE V8. They sound fantastic and it’s still a 4.0 liter. Lol

If you tackle it all at once, it could be an expensive project. I hope you are able to find everything you need at good prices.
