Try searching the wrecking yards for Troopers with the 2.6/2.3s as they will be the best source of parts for your project.
I have already done the 5sp swap,power steering and upper control arms on mine and i have a 2.3 setting i storage for the parts to do a 2.6 swap in my 4X4.
If you can get the 2.6 out of a Trooper then try and get the 5sp as well as it is a stronger one then the one out of the 2.3 like mine but i have no problems with mine so either will work also be sure to get the shifter levers and the drive lines as you will need them. The power steering is an easy swap (4 hrs on a hoist for me) and it was more then worth it and the plus is it has a quicker steering ratio and is sweet.
