Pete M Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yup, it's been done by a few dedicated folks. :thumbsup: Be prepared to kiss your entire drivetrain goodbye and then fight a never ending battle to cool the beast. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEBOX Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yer killing me PETE !!! LOL. have you a link or any info ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I would start here viewforum.php?f=7 even got a link for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Who needs a link? Step 1: rip out entire drivetrain: Step 2: graft in entire new drivetrain that won't explode Step 3: pay out the nose for the best radiator you can possibly afford along with the best E-fans you can find. Step 4: Vent the hood somehow Step 5: pray that it's enough to cool the engine :D Skimming through the first few pages in the projects forum I found these guys: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16611 viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16635 viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16611 viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1771 And advanceadapters.com should have everything you'll need (if you can afford it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEBOX What I was really wantting to see Or read. Is something maybe on what someone had use as a doaner truck . maybe like the drive train form an S10 or some thing. I tried looking in the serch for V8 swap . but nothing really had complete details . But a stock 1990 4.0 has 173 hp and a stock v8 chevy Is really not that much more. So I will just build up the 4.0 i have . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 V8 swaps are not worth it :ack: . The 4.0L can be built with all the power and torque you will ever need for the common user of a Jeep, and it is a lot easier than trying to make a V8 work in the Jeep :thumbsup: .

wolfpackjeeper Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 that is the link that convinced me I wanted a stroker, not a V8. It is very doable, just requires about 3 times the budget of a stroker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
