You could do a TB gm5.3 they're a 3 wire to fire motor. Keep it simple but don't down grade

Agreed. Also most stock carbed V8's are low power and wouldn't be worth the money and headache to swap in.

I'm just sick of all these stupid vacuum lines breaking and causing issues. Is there any way to get rid of them or simplify them.

The Haynes book has a full breakdown of the vacuum line routing(Sorry I tried to google a pic). If you have the spare time, you could "tuck" the lines to get rid of the cluster****. Just my .02

That's funny as I was just looking at your write ups and stuff not to long ago. Probably going to purchase the new setups as mine are destroyed. Was just hoping there was a way to delete some of them.

Awesome thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to do all of what's in your list and the jeep should run good. I plan on replacing the egr and iac as they have never been replaced.
