ICEBOX Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 ANY one have info on doing a v8 4x4??????? if so please send me write ups or links or any thing ! thank you..
Geonovast Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Go look through the projects section. There's at least 3 in there.
Pete M Posted May 31, 2009 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. :(
ICEBOX Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 Yer killing me PETE !!! LOL. have you a link or any info ?
wolfpackjeeper Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 I would start here viewforum.php?f=7 even got a link for you
Pete M Posted May 31, 2009 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)
ICEBOX Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 Thank you for the links PETE. Does look like it may be more TIME then i really wanna spend. I will just find a motor for mine. Thank you kind sir :bowdown: and wolfpackjeeper ??? um yeah
wolfpackjeeper Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 you asked for a link, the first two posters said to look in the projects section. I just thought maybe you could not find it. sheesh, try to be helpful... novak conversions has a really good article as well.
ICEBOX Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 wolfpackjeeper . sorry I was not really trying to be an azz to you . I was just like. Hum he sends me to a link of the projects ?? Sorry . 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 .
BLHTAZ Posted June 1, 2009 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 Posted June 1, 2009 this should help http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/xj_swap.htm
ICEBOX Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 wolfpackjeeper . :bowdown: :bowdown: now thats the link I been a lookin for ! woot TY :banana:
wolfpackjeeper Posted June 1, 2009 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.
