Re: 4.0 Litre that knocks. I need your suggestions!!!

You might be able to rebuild the bottom-end, but there is no way of knowing just how much damage there is till you tear-down the engine. ie. cylinder walls, crank condition. How many miles are on this engine? Yes I would,depending on the engines internal condition, look into bore it .030. That is a "standard" bore when rebuilding any engine. If you go the route of engine swap(4.0 to 350) consider all your upgrades, easily exceed 900.00. (Tranny,driveshafts, engine mounts, cooling upgrades, ignition) How-ever, an XJ with a 350 would be an awesome toy!! Good luck!!
