grind down the crank but i usually dont like to anything .20 under. dont weld the journal if it wore out beyond cuting. you can but i dont like to. get a full engine kit and go .20 over on the pistons and rings. get good quality kit tho. get a nice 3 angle valve job, port and polish head and port match intake manifold, get headers and a intake and you should be happy with the power and it will be reliable.
Theres alot more you can do but for a basic build that should be fine, nothen crazy.
I havent built a jeep 4.0 engine yet but looking for a good core to build for back up.

99+ intake a good exhaust header will give you a nice little power gain.
If you have an AW4, A new Flex-plate so you don't have to worry about cracks in the near future.
Port match the intake ports on the cylinder head an a mild polish while you're at it.
