    Sell it on Craigslist as as off-road project. I wouldn't fool with cost/time of motor swapping, but someone else might want a thrash-wagon, or need parts. Figure scrap price, and add $200 to it as selling price if there's lots of good/usable parts on it (glass, wheels, body parts, interior, axles, wiring harness, etc).

    It just started knocking and temp gauge ran over to hott all of a sudden. Guess I ran it hot and blew it before I knew it

    a lot of folks need the parts off of the older jeeps like yours...don't scrap it...sell it piece by piece if ya have to.
    James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (KJV)
