Body swap
I know I will probably get **** for the idea but, I enjoy thinking outside the box and being creative. With that being said, I also really like the Jeep XJ body but hate the 4.0 and weak unibody. I’ve seen talk on some Jeep forum pages about trying a Ford engine/drivetrain swap in the XJ but everyone suggests swapping the body onto a ford chassis with an existing drivetrain, while possibly widening the xj body.
my question is, what chassis would you suggest for such a swap and what drivetrain?
bronco chassis with the 302 or 351?
90s to early 2000s f150/f250?
I don’t care about the extra work and fabrication or what money will be needed, just curious on what frame and drivetrain to go with.
Thanks in advance!!

IMHO, I would go for a full frame replacement unit designed for the Jeep... such as...
