I was wondering if it would be better to swap or rebuild the engine in my jeep.

No way to answer that question, till we know more about what is going on with it.
Have you done a compression and leakdown test.

I guess when you say swap what are you thinking?
Drop in a 350 Chevy. JUST KIDDING!! For Pete's sake don't do that.
I would look at your local auto parts store. Some of those have a 3 year warranty. ATK's are good.
