HOrnbrod Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Saw this on the strokers forum. Looks like a sweet deal to me. JT, can you check it out? I think it's in Raleigh. I am selling my dream of having the baddest XJ EVER... but alas hard times have come and my loss is your gain. I bought it running and assembled and heard it run before I bought it, but never got to "ride" it because it came out of a badly rolled CJ. I disassembled it to "see what I had" -- and I was not dissappointed... and neither will you... 94 block -- decked .010 and bored .060 Speed Pro H825CP Pistons 15cc dish 94 head casting # 7120 new valves, 3 angle valve job, new springs CompCams #68-231-4 206/214 degree cam Clifford Header 2000 Intake for an extra 15 ponies MSD-6AL Off Road Ignition Box Just throw in a set of injectors and maybe a map adjuster and vroom vroom!!! You CANNOT piece all of this together for DOUBLE the cost!!!!!!!!! This engine was in a CJ that was running a Howell EFI-- from the looks of the tops of the pistons he was running a little rich--- better than lean any day!!! There was no ring wear or cam wear anywear so I believe the 5000 mile estimate on milage was accurate... this is a GOOD motor! I'm asking $1200, payment by cash, paypal or certified check... I will deliver for a cost negotiated after the sale... hell I'll even help you put it in if your close enough... I wanted to see how this sucker pulls anyway.... woo hooo!!!.... PICS HERE: email tragiccomic1972@yahoo.com or call 919-616-9934 If it hasn't sold by the end of the weekend I'll list it on e-bay. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejndssn Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 my only question is the 3 & 4 cyl walls looks discolored :hmm: like rust of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah, looks like a little rain water got in there 'cause it's been opened up for awhile, but just surface rust. Valves and piston tops look good. Wish I were close enough to go eyeball this. Dayem, the headers, 99 intake, MSD ignition, and build specs look super.

ejndssn Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 if it wasn't for my messed up schedule right i would liked to take a trip and see it for myself and from the pictures it appears to have the light weight crankshaft. it would be worth a look see and may work a deal :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yeah, you're only about three hours away. This is definitely worth a look see. I'd head on up there if my stroker was AFU. But fortunately it's not. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdesigns Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Sorry Don I'm on the blue ridge side.. I'm about 4 hours east of Raleigh. My cuz lives there, but she won't have the slightest clue on what to look for.. Sounds like a good engine, but 1200 seem high??? IDK.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 For a built stroker with those accessories? That's cheap as dirt IF everything he says is true, with the build sheet parts all new. And that's his asking price - got a feeling you can get it much cheaper. It will go for that at least on Ebay. DISCLAIMER: I don't know this guy or anything about him, but he wasn't the engine builder. That's the guy I'd like to talk to. If everything he says is true, this is a good deal for a 4.6L if it was built right............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're in the midst of swapping to a 4.0, and I know you'd like a 4.6 a LOT better. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Rrrrraleigh/Durham :D is a dead-on 2 hour trip for me from where I'm at (I've done it 2X already). If anyone's REALLY interested in it I could be persuaded by copious amounts of Bud Light to pay it a personal visit and get a sitrep...... My stroker plans are about 1-2 yrs. down the line, but I'll have one, eventually Don :cheers: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's REALLY interested in it I could be persuaded by copious amounts of Bud Light to pay it a personal visit and get a sitrep...... I wouldn't want someone to go that far, but if there were someone in the near neighborhood, it'd be worth a whole pile of frosties to me to have this checked out, and see if a reasonable deal (including shipping) could be done. In truth, SoCal is the pits when it comes to Jeep parts. Every yard around here seems to think they're made of unobtanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
