RE: 88 YJ Ignition Upgrades
Keep in mind this is in the future when I have the money. But I'm just looking into things and figuring out what I will need.
Ok I've been wanting to hotrod a cherokee out. My goal is to get 350-400 HP out of a 4.0 HO Engine. I'm wanting to take a 5spd 2 or 4 door cherokee(not sure yet) and make these mods:
- Bored out Stroker kit
- SuperCharger (Kenny Bell maybe, still looking around)
- New 62mm throttle body
- Intake (K&N most likely)
- Exhaust (Flowmaster or Borla)
- Bigger radiator
- D44 Rear w/locker
- Thicker Driveshaft
- adjustable shocks
Ok now my questions:
a) I kinda want to still have my 4wd, but I don't know if it would handle the power. What kinda of Transmission and 4wd setup would I need, that won't explode into different pieces on me?
b) What am I missing on that list that I will have to do?
I know it's probably not the most practical thing to try to build, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it yet, so I thought it would be fun to do. Especially if I get it accomplished. I'll keep it at stock height for now and depending on how it rides will determine if I lift or have to lower a hair.
