Default Blown engine

Hey all, I had the unfortunate circumstances of blowing a 4.0L engine on a 46 degree day out in the SA outback. Cooked it basically. So I need to swap out the radiator and all associated gear as well as the engine. It is a 1997 wrangler. If anyone knows where I can get a reco'd engine that would be great. Other suggestions also appreciated. I don't have tons of cash. If its all too expensive I may consider parting it out and selling it

Not really sure how much is too expensive. I did see the ones from jeep engines. Was hoping to get something a bit cheaper than that, but I don't think that is possible.

I am weighing up my options now. Don't want to sink in more cash than its worth. With it all fixed up, It's most likely only worth 8-9K so was hoping to get out of this for less than 4K.

I've cooked the 4.0 many times, I can't kill it!

You sure it's really that bad?

Have you tried the wreckers ?

If you dont go any good, is it to early to call dibs on the gearbox and transfer
