Moses. Reading through your thread here, lot's of amazing intel! I was hoping I could get some advice. I recently received delivery of an original 1986 CJ7, Laredo. Frame, body, tub, all in excellent shape. The trans (5 spd) and motor are shot. In lieu of rebuild of the 4.2, I was about to go with a I6 4.0. But reading through this thread, it dawned on me that maybe that shouldn't be the only option I consider. Looking for some advice here? I'm also going to upgrade the suspension so any thoughts? My goal is to make this reliable and modern underneath, so my wife and daughter have no issues using as much as they want!
