    5.3 or stock 4.0, all of your other options look gay.

    If you're rebuilding an I6, might as well make it a stroker.

    If you're just swapping in a used engine, my vote is 4.2 with 4.0 head and factory fuel injection swap.

    It currently has a 4.2 with 4.0 head and it went boom
    I have a 4.2 in the shop in unknown condition from a parted cj
    There is a guy with a Hesco stroker 4.7 short block on cl for 800
    I have a line on a 401 with a guy I swap parts with sometimes
