Context would help and why you're asking such a question? This has more to do with the transmission used that the V-8 and is somewhat nonsensical.
Nothing wrong with non-Scrambler Jeep questions on here but this is an odd one.
Very cool that you've been on so long.

For context, the 392 JL does not use the 4:1 transfer case gearing because the brakes would be to weak to stop it.
That was one of the reasons given by a engineer on the development team.
Having too deep of a crawl ratio can be bad as well, depending on the use case.

My Scrambler with the 350 TBI and Atlas II 4.3:1 T-case is that way. The brakes will not stall it in low range, first gear. The axles are 1998 Dynatrac D60 and D44 with F-150 brakes. Big disc's up front and big drums in the rear. Also have the "Navajo" brake booster.
This isn't a problem. Just push in the clutch or if you are flexed out on big rocks, turn the key off to prevent it from coasting down. Starts up easily by turning the key while in gear.
I'm at a 125:1 crawl ratio in low range, first gear. Would actually like even lower on trails like the Rubicon. Between the 5-speed with the granny low first gear and the overdrive fifth gear and high and low range. It's easy to find a good gear for any condition.
