Hi guys, I just picked up a clean 86 mj with 116,000 original miles. The 2.8 has picked up a knock on cylinder 6 so time for a swap. I have built an awesome 96 XJ but this one is new to me. I would like to swap the full drive train 4.3 vortec and trans and tcase. I would like to stay kind of pure in the fact this one had a chevy v6 from the factory so that is what I think would be an awesome setup. I have been searching for days with little success on any write ups on this. I know I could do a 3.1 or 3.4 but would like to get a package that had four wheel drive in the first place. Now I am not saying this is set in stone just trying to do on a budget. Any info would be awesome. I know a 4.0 would be cool but not to pumped on a 4.0 as not a ton of power and man am I tired of the damn header cracking, yes I have brown dog motor mounts and trans mount so no movement and also have a flex pipe installed in the down pipe right before it hits the cat to eliminate the torque effect from body flex. So hope I dont upset anyone and just need some guidance.
