The jeep drive line has the torque handling capacity of a fresh carrot. Unless you plan to change everything for bigger, brighter, better, then, I would suggest you leave it standard. ( I am not for a moment suggesting that you shouldn't do what ever you want with your own vehicle)
 The flattie should go back in a carrier

Nice thought but,
I know a guy over here in England that fitted a small block chevy engine in a jeep, albeit a Hotchkiss, and ended up filling the rear lockers and the space under the rear seat with concrete, just to keep the back end in contact with the road. Keep it stock Keith

Here is a flathead in a Jeep. Notice the "Willys" on the head.
