Finding an engine in running condition is difficult, since the cars are often disassembled and parts sold off. The reputable dealers in used engines are usually specialists and offer a warranty. But it's still a risky proposition

I am looking for a rebuilder for my low mileage 4.0 V8 with (I think) Nikasil. Is your Oklahoma man still in that business? I have locatd a firm that will re-do the Nikasil if that is required, but they do not re-build.

jagmon has not posted since 2012 and probably not active. You would find more help by starting a new thread and explaining what happened to your engine.
