The thing with a LS is the aftermarket. Also they respond so well to mods. I am a big Chevy guy that bought a Jeep. I really like the 3.6 but if I had a 3.8 I would look at doing a LS swap. I know a local guy that put a 5.3 in a 2,500lb drag car ran a turbo and stock long block and was running 8's in the quarter.

Do a compression test/leak down test. That is usually a good barometer as to what condition the motor is in.. We have had some customers install our units on Jeeps with over 100K. If you followed your regular service intervals, it may be ok.
