Questions about a locked up 4.0
I recently came across a guy selling the 4.0 out of a donor XJ, and he’s selling it for 20 bucks. Miles unknown, locked up, been sitting out in the rain for who knows how long.
Now, naturally, I want to buy it.
But I don’t know what I’d do with it.
Should I try and get it running? Should I rebuild it and put it in my XJ? Should I rebuild it and flip it? Stroke it?
I don’t know what i’ll do if I end up getting it. Should I even bother with it?

I wouldn't buy it with a plan to rebuild and flip it. No way you'd come out ahead on that. But for $20 as a core to rebuild for yourself, maybe, assuming the cylinders aren't damaged or rusty.
