96-98 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 360. Cheap to buy. Good engine and trans combination. Runs J/SA - N/SA depending on the trim. Engine is way underrated. You could run under the index with one these things using a rebuilder's short block. Good visibility.

This could be a great build. I wonder if you could get it light enough in limited trim with the 360(magnum motor?), and full time 4wheel drive to run the 12.95 N/SA index. Call it 4100 pounds. Anyone know what they weigh as street jeeps? My 08 v8 full time 4 wheel drive 4runner with me in it is like 4575.
Drive around the water box, and stage. Perfect training truck.
If the 96-98 360 grand cherokees had magnum motors, it could be interesting.
