WillC:
I know you are not going to do a motor swap this spring but when the time comes....

Screw the v-8 and it's 10 -12 mpg and all that weight and go with the 1.9 Volkswagen Turbo Diesel, wheel all day for a few $$ and get 30+ mpg on the road. With a bit of tuning it has a little more hp and torque than your 4.0 and weights about a 100 lbs less.

Flex:
or just stroke the 4.0l

calvynandhobbs:
I'm glad you guys are thinking big. I'm just thinking that I need to finally replace the control arm bushings and do something with my steering to get it back on the road.  ;D Although I do have a new set of springs to go all the way around it that might get put in also.

skibum:
I would rather stroke a 4.0L(or Supercharged) like Bill's than go through all the trouble,time & money to install a VW TD in a Jeep.  You can't beat the sound of the old classic V8 or newer LS motor. Screw the gas mileage.

So what do you want? The sound of a V8  ;D(drinking lots of gas) or a sewing machine ::)(knitting a sweater)
