Friend of mine just did this swap. He used trail toughs kit and it was simple. We wnet to the dunes this weekend and there wasn't hardly a hill he could not climb. He has wrangler lift with 33" tires. I have a sidekick and he stayed right with me

Of course there's a way around welding, buy an expensive kit that does exactly the same as the way we did it on my rig ;).
Cost is..................errrrmmm..............a cup of coffee for the guy that welded it and a couple of old bolts ( which again didn't cost a dime actually ).

If you don't have a welder or friends there kit is $149. Pretty cheap

I used the Calmini kit on mine without welding. Works great!

Depending on how you want to set up the aspiration, it gets a bit complicated and expensive.
The ultimate way is to use a adapted engine harness, ECM and 1.6 Fuel Injection system. Benefits: reliable offroad operation at unusual angles, low maintenance, good fuel economy. Problems: rebuilt harnesses can be expensive.
Most of the big aftermarket suppliers offer rebuilt harnesses -- Trail Tough comes to mind...
Another way is to use a 1.3 head with an aggressive cam and a Weber carb (DGAV 3236 is a typical unit). Sarge at Midwest Performance http://www.performancewebers.com/ has a nice setup that includes a slightly-modified intake that improves operation at unusual angles. This is what I run. My head and cam came from a well-known vendor but I cannot vouch for his ability to deliver on his product without severe brow-beating over the phone (no, it isn't Rocky Road...) Benefits: simple technology (read NO rats-nest of vaccuum hoses!), no ECM, okay fuel economy, costs a little less.
If I had the 1.6 WITH the harness and the ECM, I'd get the harness rebuilt as the cost would be a toss-up but the reliable odd-angle operation would be a big plus!
