I originally started to post this on my local forum, but I remembered the great minds and how much time I spend reading over here...

I'll post the major cliff notes and what pictures I have access to right now
Comanche 90’s 4.0l
Wheeled the snot out of it for a few years stock on 31” Baja Claws
Motor was knocking so I parked it almost 2 years ago and got a new truck
Collected and “seasoned” most parts over the years and figured it’s finally time to actually do something.
Plans
4.7l stroker
Fuel -- Propane
Pistons -- IC945 .040 over
Crank -- 12cw
Cam -- COMP 68-232-4
Lifters -- COMP
Rods -- 4.0L
Oil Pump -- Hi vol melling
Lifters – stock
Push Rods -- ???
Head Gasket -- ??? 0.043
Timing Chain – Comp COC3127
Cubic Inches: 281.33
Liters: 4.61
Static Compression Ratio: 10.89:1
Dynamic Compression Ratio: 9.32:1
Quench: .043
Intake Valve Closing Angle: 55
Sm465
np231 / d300 doubler
D60 front
14b rear
Brace / reinforce frame
Skid plates
Bumpers
Keeping bed / tailgate
I’ll figure out tires as I get there
leafs in rear
possibly leafs in the front or may do long arm, still reading on how best to accomplish
Started tearing apart drive lines and working on getting my own together
4.7L (stroked 4.0L)
SM465
231 / D300 doubler
After some reading it looks like the SM465 shares the same size and spline input shaft minus 1" of the stick out.
easy enough
The bell housing just needs to be marked and drilled BUT I need one from a 1980 - 1986 CJ and the throwout arm.
Dang, Off to search
I do think Its pretty sweet that I get to go back to cable clutch though... I do miss it over hydraulic. I did see the conversion kits, from full hydraulic throwout bearings to hydraulic slave retro fits, If anyone has any input on this please let me know.
There is also the bearing retainer to be modified, but I can ask around to see who has a machine shop I can borrow.
and now, PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!!!
..... or not.....
