2.9 with cracked heads

how likely is it that the block is warped as well?

Probably not. You aren't planning to fix it are you? I think you could get new heads for $500. Used ones wouldn't be worth the risk. A used engine might be worth the risk if you got it cheaply enough and are handy at swapping engines.

A 4.0 has better parts, is a lot stronger, is a difficult, but very doable swap.

yea x2 on the swap. id just rip out the old motor, and next time watch your temp!

Im having trouble finding running 4.0s in my area, plus I have a mitsu 5 speed in my ranger

I would just swap the heads and call it a day. As long as you didnt run it long like that, that is.

Just get some cheap oil and flush out the nastiness the best you can.
