I you want a V-8 just sell your Cherokee and buy a GC.

You can pull near 250 HP out of a regular 4.0 with just a few of the "right" bolt on parts.

You can do anything with time, money and some know how (or more money to pay someone with the know how)

I saw this post about a SWAMP and thought someone found a whole bunch of V8s in a SWAMP, but it turns out someone has too much money and wants to waste it by SWAPPING a Jeep V8 in an XJ.
