Default tpi 350 or lt 1 out of camaro into 92 cherokee?

hey, i was wandering about doing a motor swap in my 92 cherokee.
i can get a tpi 350 or a lt1 out of a camaro and was wandering what would be the better motor for it and what i would have to do to the front to accommodate the extra weight and anything else i cant think of that goes along with this swap.

i will be using all advance adapter conversion parts(bell housing,motor mounts and conversion headers) what else might i need for this swap and any info as i have been looking this up for a week with no real good info.



thanks

Some of the LT motors are all aluminum, and from what I've heard, are around 100 pounder lighter than the 4.0.

oh man, 4.7 hammerhead stroker all the way, unless you're planning on taking it to the drag strip instead of offroading it.
