Why stop at the next size up?
The 3.slow gets v10 gas mileage (good for a v10, bad for a v6...) and ~4 cylinder power.
Swap in a 4.0L!
There is a 2.3L to 4.0L swap thread that I found one particular swappers "to do" list for. Search this forum....it ain't that far back.

While you're at it, swap in a Cummins 4BT and hop it up. It would get about 30 mpg, and can make more power than those 4 litre gassers.
