I just got a diesel yj and it was very weak so I sell the engine and planning to put a new one, the choices I got is a 4.0L HO or a 5VZ 3.4L v6 190 Hp from toyota tacoma, which one will be the best option in performance

I agree with FourWheeler, 4.0L, as long as you plan on keeping the engine fairly stock, as there aren't a whole lot of "hot rod" parts for a Jeep 4.0L. However, its a VERY strong engine, and will last a LONG time with regular oil changes. I must admit, I'm also curious about the diesel engine. If it was in good shape, I'd consider keeping it. LOTS of torque, usually not tons of HP though.
