This all relative to to power it had when it was stock. Will it roll down the road and get up to speed ? Yes, just not quickly. On the trail in low range it'll be adequate. Somehow I don't think he or we are getting the whole story. "he should be running equal to a 6 cyl. with 3:54's" remember there is no replacement for cubic displacement.

373:1 and 34's you have an effective gear ratio of 297:1  It's going to be a slug. If it's a good deal buy it and regear with 456:1 or 488:1

Once I get started on Jenn's YJ particularly the axle swap (Dana44 frt. and rear from a 87 Waggy)I have opportunity to install them any which way I choose. I was considering spring over axle. I know what all is involved that's not a issue but, because the Yj gets as much if not more road time as it does trail time.  With the way it sits now(SUA) I think I'll get tire rub with the 35's. Center of gravity is somewhat of a concern with SOA . Which way do you think I should go?

Glad it's fixed and you found someone to treat you right.

Good job, be sure the wheel bearing issue is truly bad and not the axle u-joint. Hub bearings tend to roar rolling down the road changing volume when sawing on the steering wheel ,as opposed to a u-joint that usually squeaks. When spinning the hub in your hand it will feel rough. Of course once you have the hub assembly out it's just a matter of sliding the axle out you may want to change the u-joint as preventive thing. You're there working on so I'm not second guessing you,but the price difference between the two warants a second or third look.
