What I love is that he's NOT using the new-style, lightweight crank. Yes, it's aftermarket, but the original Jeep engines in this series (the 199, 232 and 258 c.i.d.) all had seven counterweights on the crank -- one between each connecting rod journal. Jeep reduced that the four counterweights in the interest of reducing reciprocating mass. I've always felt that was a mistake -- especially when at the same time they wanted less noise and vibration. The seven counterweight crank runs much smoother.

It's an impressive build.  I'm amazed that it's stock bearings and block, basically it held together with 1000hp.  

And I would venture that the block is not the weak point, especially at only 4.6l. I think with properly tuned efi and a bigger cam you could make North of 1200hp

Things like this make me question if i truly want to get rid of the 4.0l in my mj. I don't want 1000hp but like 250-300 would be nice mainly cause of the highway. my doubler takes all the work offroad but on the highway 65mph+ its a workout. 

 

I havent fully decided what to do yet
