If you buy new, an LS swap would be pretty cool. And not to much difference in money. But this would lead you down the rabbit hole of better transmission (AX15 would work with V8 but better choices out there), lift, tires, ect.
I really don't want to do an LS swap, but that's the only answer that I'm getting on a Jeep forum. They just say it's pretty much the same work as wiring in the MPFI 4.0L as an LS motor. An AX15 is just a pretty easy transmission to source and fits really well in the Wrangler.
