Re: still looking
Well, you have the wrong vehicle to modify. You cannot go any bigger
than a V6 or a 4 banger, it won't even fit a straight six 4.0 engine.
They changed the design in 87 so the larger engine will fit.
I have heard of a 3.2 or maybe a 3.8 fitting in. You have a GM
bellhousing I believe on it.
As far as a lift goes, unless you want to get into the thousands, you
are limited to 2" or so. A 2" spacer kit isn't too expensive or hard to
put in depending on your local rust levels. Getting the shocks off is
the hardest part...

Re: still looking
Mike,
I believe he can put the grill or front clip from an 87+ model on it, to fit
a 4.0 engine. This might make enough room for a V8. It seems like a lot of
work though. There is a lot of information on the Advance Adapters web
site, including the 3.8 GM V6 conversion, but it doesn't look as if they
have actually done one. http://advanceadapters.com. This engine comes
supercharged in some vehicles. A guy in Littleton, CO put a GM V8 diesel in
one, after finding out all the fixes to get decent service life out of the
engine. He bolted it up to a stock AX5 transmission though, which he had to
rebuild every 40,000 miles or so.

work though. There is a lot of information on the Advance Adapters web
site, including the 3.8 GM V6 conversion, but it doesn't look as if they
have actually done one. http://advanceadapters.com. This engine comes
supercharged in some vehicles. A guy in Littleton, CO put a GM V8 diesel in
one, after finding out all the fixes to get decent service life out of the
engine. He bolted it up to a stock AX5 transmission though, which he had to
rebuild every 40,000 miles or so.

I believe he can put the grill or front clip from an 87+ model on it, to fit
a 4.0 engine. This might make enough room for a V8. It seems like a lot of
work though. There is a lot of information on the Advance Adapters web
site, including the 3.8 GM V6 conversion, but it doesn't look as if they
have actually done one. http://advanceadapters.com. This engine comes
supercharged in some vehicles. A guy in Littleton, CO put a GM V8 diesel in
