Default New engine time!!!

Alright my engine just isn't up to par anymore. Not enough power, ticking that won't go away clunking and so on the 4.7 just isn't where I need it. I'm looking to swap to a different v8 I want suggestions on different types and tranny/t-case pairs? I'm thinking GM engines. ( do not try to tell me anything other then v8 pretty set on that)
Thanks Alex.

LS1 and a 4L60 would be pretty cool to see in a WJ - not sure what TC would pair up with it... I would recommend keeping your current TC and getting an adapter from advance adapters though... otherwise with most TC's used in later GM vehicles, you'll be stuck with push-button crap

Well, if you're not limited by budget or fab skills... Check out advanced adapters... They can make an adapter for nearly any tranny to nearly any engine... And an adapter for nearly any TC to nearly any tranny.
