[ecor]

Cool thanks for the info

 

[jeepin916]

hey ECOR have you finished your build up yet? how did it turn out?

 

[ecor]

Starting the build in about a week. Waiting for the last couple of parts to come it.

 

[jeepin916]

what do you have so far? all i got is the crank and rods, hadent gotten a chance to order nething else or go pick out a good block to work with..

 

[ecor]

I ordered this kit to begin with
http://www.speedomotive.com/jeep_4.htm
but I got 30 over pistons and rings
I also have the injectors coming from Jakes

As for the cam and lifters I sell crane so I have to order those when I am ready. I figure that if I am going to do this I am going to make it nasty. I bought another cherokee to drive while my truck is out of commision. My block on my 2000 TJ is in good shape so I may as well use that one. Estimated HP in this configuration 269 hp and 339 ft/lbs of torque. We will see what happens.

Talk to you soon

 

[jeepin916]

nice... what did you mean by u sell crane?

 

[jeepin916]

hey does anyone know what pistons i need to use? do i order pistons for a 4.0 engine or a 4.2 engine?

 

[Snitty]

you want pistons deisigned for a 4.0 block... but tell them if you want a low or high compression ratio, it all makes a difference in what kind of pistons you get

 

[ecor]

I own eastcoastoffroad.com, One of the products that I sell is crane cams. I ordered the convensional piston piston instead of the high compression because I fear problems with detonation getting the compression to high.

 

[jeepin916]

hey do you have a catalogue? what kind of deals do you get? ill lrder all my stuff from you im in NY also

 

[jackal]

IN a lot of the magazines when someone talks about their stroker engine they mention Hesco engine parts. I have looked at their website and they have a lot of 6 cyl stroker parts and assemblies.

I have used Clifford research 6 cyl intakes and exhaust.

Later,
Jackcal

iv heard of Hesco but there prices are a little outrageous, all i need are pistons, a cam i will be getting from crane or comp.

 

[Snitty]

if you go comp, you will need a specialty grind, and that will be overpriced... go crane... they have a cam for our application... i emailed comp last year, and the cam alone was $230

 

[jeepin916]

dammm.. i thought comp had a cam for the jeep 4.0 but if they dont have a cam and i need a speciality grind cam ill stay with crane, thanks for letting me know snitty,

 

[Snitty]

that was last year, they may have one now... or, they may have had one and just tried making a specialty sale... but crane does have a good choice cam

 

[jeepin916]

with the new cam will i have to bridge the rockers? or shim them? i remember reading that i need to shim them

 

[ecor]

Right now wee do not have a catalog but if there is anything that you need please let me know. You can email me or you call me at 315-697-6211. We can get you just about anything that you are looking for and compete nationaly.
As for the cam, stick with crane they actually have a cam that is built for this application and I have not needed to shim the rockers on another cam before and I have never read anywhere about that being needed.
