Can you tell year if an engine by the engine block number?

Nope. It didn't get all of the changes of the 6mt, but it got the ones that will make this a complicated swap (cam and crank sensors, wiring harness, few other things). The best info I've seen on the swap so far (2017 into a 2013 though): http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119729

Not clear on whether they ever got it running right.

My wife and went to a park with a beach, it was on a dead end road. We got there and 10 mins later it started to rain real hard. We stayed for a little bit and watched the rain under the shelter. When the lightning started we decided it'd be best to leave.

The road had side roads off it that were flooded badly. So we went forward and the road was totally flooded out, there was a lifted Cherokee that was stuck in it. We were on the dry part of the road on the crown and the only way out was to take a right on an access road behind a shopping center. There was water in the dip, but it didn't look very deep and the only other option was to park it and wait in the rain.

It was a lot deeper than it looked. I could see bottom in most of the puddle but it got very deep and I couldn't see that part of the puddle. Derp. Engine decided it was thirsty and took a drink.

OK, so an update.

I'm getting a new engine, but it is not 2017 spec. It's a 2016 engine, but NIB. I saw it in 4 nice little boxes at the place where they are doing the work. boxes were the block, 2 heads and a gasket kit.

On the top of the block is this number, it is different from the number I got off the other block (that one was on the front of the block on another plate; on this block, I could only get to the plate on the top of the block because it's still in a box) c1323678c1324133

Cross your fingers that they can put it together properly.

Don't think that hasn't been going through my mind!
