Okay, my friend needed a vehicle while his car was awaiting parts, and I loaned him my '98 XJ.

Restoring coolant allowed it to run, roughly, but clearly there is serious damage to the engine. Compression readings for 1-6 are

Where can I get a decent used 4.0 in So Cal? and what sort of interchange is there between block/head with Wranglers, etc?
