My advice is to drop in a V8! I bored out a Pontiac 455 and dropped it into my '68 FJ40. She makes over 400HP.
Good luck with the build!

Yeah, it's geared at 3.21 right now, I'm looking at 2 options. Etiher 4.10's with a rear locker which will run about $2500-3000, or if I can find a wrecked Rubicon, just salvage the 3.73 axles out of that.
But I've driven a 3.21 geared JK with 33's and it can handle it, you just basically lose 6th gear. Which doesn't bug me.
