comancheon33 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Few years back a friend of mine up a small block in his XJ. He used the advanced adaptor mounts also. It went right in everything was pretty easy except for the exhaust. Had to find the right combo of manifolds and had a local shop build the y pipe. The XJ was a blast four wheel after that. Way more power than was needed for the truck. It crapped out the first dana 35 in half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob_jeep Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 yea i got a nine inch for that issue but mines 2x4 and keeping it that way 4 now and they donthave manifolds for heads thatel work so makeing headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Have you looked at block hugger headers? How much less space does a MJ have compared to the S10? My 4.3 xj, has stock exhaust manifolds on it, and seems to clear everything well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob_jeep Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 the driver side aint so bad its the passenger side is the pain i thought of those but there not solidmounts so using huggers would hit the frame with engine flex i got to go rear dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I hope you got some stout motor mounts to limit motor flex... otherwise your headers are going to be dented like the down pipes on every jeep I have ever seen with the straight six Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 ..and I hope you get some heat shielding, you're gonna heat all your brake lines and the fuel lines are TOO close for comfort... looks good tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bolt Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Did you already ceramic coat your custom headers? Did you get them jet-hot coated or did you paint them yourself? They look good. Curious because some of the powder coating supply houses have ceramic paint, the same basic stuff jet hot uses, and can be buffed to a shine.
