I have a 88 yj in my driveway right now. just had the 2.5l and head rebuilt. was planning to put the one tons in it and pasture the 80. But I just love the 80 too much. its so nice to put my kids in and the drive to the trail is great in her. I just replaced the hg and had the head rebuils and with the turbo this motor is just so sweet. A SBC would be a downgrade unless it was one nice motor.
I have yet to hear of 80 tcase failure on this forum. A crawler box is on my list but 5.38 or lower gears and 38-40 rubber would be acceptable to me. I have yet to break a birfield but I am soft on the truck with respect to wheelspin and must be with 4.10 gears. I carry spares but love to wheel in the snow above fresno and i do not want to think of changing out a birf in the snow and I want bigger rubber
