As titled, I am looking for the cheapest, and easiest swap for this truck. Its the 4.0 sohc with the rattle of death at 206k miles, original everything.
Ill be driving it as is until the timing chain finally goes all the way, it rattles like ****, it sounds like ****, but drives decent. It is my go to school and work vehicle.
My thinking is, when it goes I should swap in another engine, but it needs to be plug and play basically.
Am I to just get another lower mileage 4.0, update the timing chain cassette and install it? or is there a cheaper engine that would work?
