okeman Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 all I have is a bill of sale from the garage for 37XX.00 plus 500 cash for the install, I don't have a clue what I did with the paperwork, crank power was listed at 429ft lbs and 330 HP the numbers were huge, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 According to AAI, the block cost roughly $1700 as it left their site and the in-between auto parts store says they don't do anything but put shops in contact with rebuilders, so by my reasoning that means either the install shop did 2000 bucks worth of work to the block or had another place do that work (or no work was done and someone fibbed). They should have some sort of paperwork concerning the details of that. If they did in fact have a specialty place do some extra stuff, than that's the info I'm looking for. If this engine isn't a stroker, then what is it? :dunno: I was hoping to simply find the papers rather than further disassemble the engine. So far I've only dropped the oil pan.

ejndssn Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 if the information to help find additional information about strokers http://www.jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/stroker.html :brows: as for my stroker i purchased mine from Accurate Power when they were doing some business and stopped some time in 05 for reasons unknown, for the I6 jeep then there is additional info from hesco/clifford web sites and now a few others like Golen. If there was/is power from this engine i think we would all like to know :???: I have found that this site and the folks here have help each other out a lot. rockhardzj wrote Anybody think it may have possibly gotten ported, polished, larger valves, aftermarket camshaft, and possibly gotten bored .030 to .060 out, with a new set of pistons to match? goes back to the earlier question i had was this engine been balanced & blue printed :hmm: and only the paper work can determine that by the way the business should have that kind of information as well. It appears that this gentleman is a man of his word and is going to make good on his deal Good luck Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Unfortunately the decision isn't easy. Even though I didn't get my "ultimate power plant", I still have a quality block that should provide years of service. And it's more than just an engine, I have half of a corrosion-free Jeep sitting in the garage and I own 2 MJs that have hacked and corroded engine compartments (technically 3 but the 86 doesn't count in this). It doesn't matter when I'll finally be able to get around to it, because there will come a day when I get to work on my MJs (and it's looking like this new engine/wireharness will likely be going into my 90 rather than the 88 because I need that one running sooner). There is very little that I'd want to salvage from the engine compartments of my trucks. They are piles of rusty crap and the components are likely to make the new engine run poorly. I have to consider the un-likelihood of getting all that (and a new engine) again when I'm ready to start swapping. Besides, I think you'd be happier with that 5.9L drivetrain (if the inclusion of the harness pans out). :brows: I have a 5.9 in my Dakota and she absolutely screams! The XJ trans is a bit too long for your YJ (your rear driveshaft will have to get even shorter than it is now) and the wiring harness is completely different than a YJ. It'll be custom everything just to make it work. And if you're going to go custom, by golly you should get yourself a V8 man. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnaevd Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 hey Oke, if you want to buy an 86 Comanche, I just got done putting in a YJ 4 banger that should be a direct bolt in to your YJ...lol Sorry about ur luck Bud. I will keep my ears open. What are you driving to get around in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okeman Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 wife's grand, as for the V8 that would be great, but time to swap is hard to come buy, so I got a killer 4 banger. comp can roller rocker ported intake, turbo from an eagle talon and best of all its a drop in so can be done in a day. then only thing that I have to address is how to change the PC so that it can realize that the turbo will have to get more fule but I told that a MAP clamp and a wide band chip? (just learning turbo stuff) will correct this problem, should run better on the HWY the the stocker did, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
