My other friend has a LC with the SBC, at Pismo he kept getting stuck because of wheel spin.
All that to say how big of a deal would it be to switch it back to a 6? You could recoup some $$ by selling the SBC.

From what I understand, its geared pretty low for those big 35" tires, Scott. I hope the low range gears will prevent wheel spin.
I had two LC, but it was the bigger wagon, not the Jeep looking one. I tried to killed my first out in the desert for a couple of years. Finally I broke it. Had another after that and lost interest in playing out in the dirt. Work, grew up and all that boring crap got in the way.
With this little Jeep, I just want to run it on trails out in the local mts and desert with my kids. Not hard core stuff because breaking is no fun because I have to find someone to fix it. You know anyone that's knowledgeable to work on putting that Jeep together?
I rather have a V6 to tell you the truth. I don't need V8 power. A small 4 banger diesel would be even better, but it will sound funny in it.
