Honestly, I am happy with just a stock 2.25L. If you really think you need more power, I would consider the Robert Davis conversion. It uses the GM Iron Duke (2.6L, 2.8L, something like that) engine. It is a whole kit, and can be done in a long weekend with no modifications to the truck. Plus, parts are available anywhere. I think the Turner 2.25L are a bit steep $$$ for the performance you get. Plus, I have heard that they are not as reliable as a stock 2.25L, and the stock motor will run and perform, when any other engine would die.
I know of one 2.25L that ran for 3 years with no oil pressue. And another with the dizzy 180 degrees off. Any other engine would have died long before these examples.
Fitting 235/85R16 tires, and an overdrive of some kind to a stock truck, and you have a pretty good highway cruiser capable of 65mph all day.
Offroad, there is no reason to have more power than the 2.25L can offer. You end up with lots of broken bits, and not much to show for it, (without major upgrades).
My truck has a Ford 2.8L V6, and while I didnt do the conversion, it does have nice power, and great performance. The added power is great, and the torque curve is awesome. But I enjoy driving a stock 2.25L too.
Thats my opinion on it.
