A 6.2 would make that jeep move on really well. They are extremely easy to wire up and make run. In 93 you could get a mechanical 6.5, or you could get a 6.5 and put a mechanical DB pump on it. 6.5's were bad for cracking heads inbetween valves, 6.2's did it also but not as bad. IMHO, a 6.2 can run just as well as a 6.5, but they have to be even. You can get more fuel easily from a 6.5 because they are electronic, but you can get just as much from a older 6.2, just have to get dirty.
Think of it as swapping in a 12 valve or a Common Rail. Both have good potential, just different ways to get there.
I don't want to sound like a bragging jerk, but I do know quite a bit about the 6.2's if you'd like more info about them let me know. I am currently building a supercharged 6.2 at the shop. Low compression pistons, some of my own little tricks, and a pretty whiney EATON supercharger (roots style).
They are great motors if you keep expectations REAL. Remember, your dealing with 25 year old technology. Pre-cup chambers, 22.5:1 compression, no oil squirters. SO keep temps to 1100*, and think 200hp 400ft.lbs, with great reliability, insanely cheap to maintain, and good economy.
