My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
not on the cheap ....... the 4.0L IS the upgrade. the upgrade from a 4.0L is usually to a V8 or a twin turbo or a super charger. Just clean the hell out of everything and tune it up.

you could port and polish the hell out of the heads and intake, polish the hell out of the crank, balance the whole rotating assembly and still would not break 190 hp.

at 160,000 miles just hope it keeps running. Your upgrade should be nothing on a high milage motor like that.

There's nothing worth doing, bolt-on wise.

160k isn't high mileage, you stuck in 1960?
