    how can i make power with a 4.2

    I like the header in that article, from an 88 Cherokee, apparently. what do I do for intake, and will I still pass emissions in CA without the EGR, or does that setup have that?

    how can i make power with a 4.2

    First of all, I care, I have to register it here in california where I live, second I already have the howell fuel injection, any manifold or exhaust has to work with that. It runs pretty well, just not really strong up a hill on the highway. I can live with the power it's got for now, I may get...

    how can i make power with a 4.2

    I DO have emissions, and I already have the Howell EFI, I would like to do the head swap to get some more power out of my 4.2, I have to have EGR. Need to know the right exhaust (OEM, or CARB# parts, California air resources board ) and the best intake with EGR for power.

    how can i make power with a 4.2

    Never heard of a renix EFI manifold, is that a stock part I can look for at the junkyards? What about bolting that on the 4.0 head, I have smoke when I start the engine for a few seconds, If I am going to do anything to the head on this thing, It's going away in favor of the 4.0. And anyone know...

    how can i make power with a 4.2

    only problem with the 4.0 head swap, I need to retain EGR for smog testing, and have a C.A.R.B.(california air resources board) number on any non stock parts(as in Header) that I put on there. I was told that the 88-89 4.2 exhaust/intake still retains the EGR, before Chrysler took over in 90...

    EFI for 78 CJ, Howell, 4.0, or V8?

    I also need to have a Catalytic converter installed,(probably get one from summit racing, and put it in myself) and get the ported vacuum switch all hooked up to pass the smog test when it comes up.

    EFI for 78 CJ, Howell, 4.0, or V8?

    The only issues I had with the EFI was a bit of a voltage drop on the inside of the car for the computer, which i rigged a relay for a direct wire to the battery to fix, and too much fuel pressure. It turned out that the little 1/4 steel line to return fuel to the tank was very plugged, I ended...

    EFI for 78 CJ, Howell, 4.0, or V8?

    Well I didn't get to the new back bumper, I found a broken motor mount(I KNEW IT!!) I fixed that, and changed the tail light, oil change etc. the other thing I found is a broken axle u-joint(dried up no grease). on the left front, these are Dana 44s from a scout, so I have to change that today...

    EFI for 78 CJ, Howell, 4.0, or V8?

    There is a little more power, not too much, still have to downshift on hills. I never really knew what the mileage was before because the jeep was towed a lot with a towbar.I took it to shops to be worked on and to the trails behind my truck. It is getting around 13 mpg lately, half in town and...

    EFI for 78 CJ, Howell, 4.0, or V8?

    Ive had the EFI going for a while now, works great, the idle is a little higher than I like, but it runs great, I could definitely use more power though. I need to get the 4.0 head and convert it, what intake/exhaust do I use, so I can still have EGR for emmisions?

    78 CJ7(Howell EFI) 4.2, want to go to 4.0 head

    I have a 78 CJ7,4.2 with the Howell EFI and I have talked a little about changing to the 4.0 head, what I need to know is what to get intake and exhaust from, I would like a header, but I have EGR on my jeep and I think I need to keep it for smog inspection here in California. Is there a more...

    Head Swap 4.2 engine to 4.0 head

    I have a 78 Cj with Howell EFI, runs pretty good, but I want more power, I understand going to the 4.0 head will give me about 40HP more, which is the HO head, will that work as well, What header do I use in these cases, and do I use my stock manifold. I need to pass CA smog too, so a header has...
