Question cant seem to find any info. so i have to ask

recently i found a stock 88 cherokee for a very reasonable price..ive been checkin it out a bit and was wondering what year/model jeeps would be a good donor for some new drums and other misc. parts, or should i just hunt down a disc conversion? im pretty new to jeeps so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 8.8 is good if u have some fab skills, a 44 is good and can be found with discs. A dana44, 35 & chrysler 8.25 can all get a disc conversion with junkyard parts
