Damn dude sorry to hear it. I can dig up some parts lists to build a stroker if you want to go that route.

Yeah man, thatd be awesome. It is going to be a spring 2013 project, going to make TJ road worthy for now. What else (bigger) could fit in the XJ?

Nice. It would probably be better to stick with a stoker or a 4.0 through huh?

A stroker/4.0 would be easier, no need to change the trans/etc.. With the small block you'd have to get a new trans/transfer case and then of course comes wiring it all together. The Jeep cluster doesn't work with it so you'll have to do a custom cluster.. and that's just what I'm remembering off hand.
