Well if it was me. I'd upgrade to the 6.5 / 4l80.
If your going to store a 6.2 on an engine stand in your garage then why not it be a 6.5 instead on the engine stand.
Start acquiring the parts now. your in no hurry to replace it if yours is still running.
Why swap out another 6.2 ?

what version of the triangular shaped weapons mount are you going to use?
The correct one for that style top is the sheet metal version (kind of rounded in shape and formed out of sheet metal) . Then they switched it out to the on solid one with all the big holes in it ( sometimes referred to...
your pictures brought back a few memories.
I kept thinking the 2 tips pointed back. they don't they are off to the left when the riser is pointed forward .
That raised angled part next to the black cupola is what the hatch folds up on I believe.

Anything else is a waist of money in the long run.
Why not just keep camping gear in trailer?
You have a giant roof rack. Why not put your camping stuff up there?
They make weather proof travel bags for just about everything nowadays ,
or you can have custom ones made.
Not much room inside a HMMWV anyway.
Stowage space under rear seats and the...
Look the world is coming to the end in 12 years according to your new Rep. Occasional Cortex or what ever her name is.
She wants you taking the train anyway. You might as well sell it now and help save the planet.
