*gasp* Say it ain't so! :-)
No, I know... I looked up the numbers, too. I still want a V8 but
probably not for the right reasons. The one in the '76 CJ I'm going
to go look at on Saturday should be 150hp, but that's with a 2bbl and
I think it's also with single exhaust. I'm just wondering out loud
how much hp it would make with an Edelbrock performer intake and a
good sized 4bbl carb (600 CFM or so), and some headers and less
restrictive exhaust system. I'd wanna beef up the drivetrain before
doing anything like that, but do you think you could probably get a
good 200 or so hp out of that engine with the changes I listed above?

Unless you are mudding, or doing other stuff where the gas pedal is mashed
into the floorboards, THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE TO A V8, indeed the V8 can be an
huge disadvantage.

OK, this is beginning to sink in for me. :-) I don't even have a
Jeep yet but was initially thinking of 37" tires. I think I should
get real. If I got a Jeep with Dana 30 front, Dana 20 xfer case, and
AMC 20 rear-end (I hear that's not a great one) does that sound like
it would be crazy to put 35" tires on that kind of driveline? I plan
on taking my Jeep offroading 3-4 times a month. I swear I'm not
arguing. I'm just asking because I have no idea.

I think that depends on your state laws. In North Carolina they only
do emissions tests on vehicles less than 25 years old: (see #2 FAQ)
http://www.dmv.dot.state.nc.us/enfor...tions/faq.html
Here's the quote if you don't wanna bother with the website:
What vehicles are required to be emissions tested?
Effective July 1, 2002, all 1996 and newer gasoline-powered vehicles
registered in an emissions county are required to receive the On Board
Diagnostics(OBD II) emissions test.
Additionally, through December 31, 2005, all gasoline-powered vehicles
less than 25 years old, up to and including model year 1995,
registered in one of the original nine emissions counties, (WAKE,
FORSYTH, GUILFORD, DURHAM, GASTON, CABARRUS, MECKLENBURG, ORANGE, or
UNION), will require an exhaust (tailpipe) emissions test.

OK, this is beginning to sink in for me. :-) I don't even have a
Jeep yet but was initially thinking of 37" tires. I think I should
get real. If I got a Jeep with Dana 30 front, Dana 20 xfer case, and
AMC 20 rear-end (I hear that's not a great one) does that sound like
it would be crazy to put 35" tires on that kind of driveline? I plan
on taking my Jeep offroading 3-4 times a month. I swear I'm not
arguing. I'm just asking because I have no idea.

I think that depends on your state laws. In North Carolina they only
do emissions tests on vehicles less than 25 years old: (see #2 FAQ)

Here's the quote if you don't wanna bother with the website:
What vehicles are required to be emissions tested?
Effective July 1, 2002, all 1996 and newer gasoline-powered vehicles
registered in an emissions county are required to receive the On Board
Diagnostics(OBD II) emissions test.
Additionally, through December 31, 2005, all gasoline-powered vehicles
less than 25 years old, up to and including model year 1995,
registered in one of the original nine emissions counties, (WAKE,
FORSYTH, GUILFORD, DURHAM, GASTON, CABARRUS, MECKLENBURG, ORANGE, or
UNION), will require an exhaust (tailpipe) emissions test.
