Keep the 4.0 its better than a v8

thats debatable

if you want a V8, buy a ZJ

AWSOME but keep in mind with all that extra power on tap you have to know when and how to use it or your going to break a lot of ****........

Keep the 4.0 till it dies, then do a V8 swap

How much do you want to spend?
I would go with a chevy LS or ford smallblock but probly alot easier to do a supercharger or turbo either way GOODTIMES
