I'd like to build a fast road SJ....but not like that.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I dont even think that is possible. Not without ruining it.

Well, that's a matter of opinion. In my experience SJs actually hold the road pretty well, but the body roll in corners lifts wheels off the ground and causes instability if they swing from one side to the other quickly. If you could lower the centre of gravity quite a bit I think a soft top Samurai could make a fun little roadster.
