HO head. Use Renix intake/exhaust gasket to match port intake and exhaust and head ports to it.

Get a 60mm throttle body from www.strokedjeep.com

You could always adapt everything from the head up from any Model year you want.. just reuse all your Sensors and your good to go.

Going this route though, you will have to adapt things like fuel lines, cables (TV, Throttle), TPS, etc. Its worth it though especially if you go with a 99+ intake manifold.
If it feels right, then STROKE it!
