I called a guy in old saybrook that is parting out a 97 TJ w/ 4.0.  If he calls me back I'll check on the radiator.

No luck.  The Jeep was damaged in the front and the radiator is shot.  He only wants to sell the big stuff, so he didn't want to sell the little stuff I need.   :(

I found another guy on craigslist parting a 99 TJ.  I sent him an email already so when I hear back I'll let you know if he has something that will work for you. ;)
