My red jeep needs a new motor. Blew it up in Clayton last year. So here is a poll for opinions in a new motor
Stock 258 with 4.0 head
A jeep i6 stroked to 4.7
Amc 401 v8 with alluminum intake (weighs about 50 lbs more than a 6cyl)
258 w/ 4.0 head
4.0 stroked to 4.7
401

Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
5.3, 6.0 or LS
If I had a jeep, those would be my options.
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
But off if your list, I would pick the stock motor with 4.0 head
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
5.3 or stock 4.0, all of your other options look gay.

If you're rebuilding an I6, might as well make it a stroker.
If you're just swapping in a used engine, my vote is 4.2 with 4.0 head and factory fuel injection swap.
'73 J2000 Thriftside Gladiator, 258/T14/D20
'81 CJ7 Laredo, 258/T176/D300
It currently has a 4.2 with 4.0 head and it went boom
I have a 4.2 in the shop in unknown condition from a parted cj
There is a guy with a Hesco stroker 4.7 short block on cl for 800
I have a line on a 401 with a guy I swap parts with sometimes
