My engine went out after driving through a flooded street and it apparently sucked water through the air intake tube i had from the stock air box down to the front wheel well. it died on me and tried to start but nothing. got it home and took out the plugs and lots of water came out the plugs holes. got them back in and it ran. with a bad miss to it and a bad odor from the exhaust. pulled the dipstick and it had the classic milky stuff in it. instead of goin through the trouble of replacing head gaskets (maybe rods too) il just replace the whole motor. all ive found around my area (Kaufman, TX) is either 2wd or 4.0 ohv. will either motor fit this vehicle? Thanks for the help and advice in advance!!!
 






2wd should be fine, assuming you mean the SOHC. You were not clear about which engone you have now.
