Last year a Jasper engine was about $3500. I checked them out before having the timing chains installed in my 04 Ex.

I would think a used one would be easy to find. There are a ton of these explorers and most are 4.0 sohc.

And for curiosity sake, what's wrong with the motor?

Keep an eye out on craigslist. You might find a wrecked one or something with a bad tranny. You could even find one in rough shape for cheap. Pull the motor and part the rest out. You could end up making your money back to cover the cost of the motor.

It snapped a connecting rod in half and shoved it through the oil pan and shoved the rod between the crank and the block and locked up the motor
