What I was getting at...you could RUN a wanted add. Maybe even put in it something about getting one from a 2000, 2001 with a cracked 0331 head.....

Ah I gotcha I may try that too but it will prolly be the same me driving 100+ miles to go look at one IF someone answers but thanks for the tip I may try it. If I do sell it I know I will regret it but I can always get another one later down the road like I said I need a truck I'm tired of having to call some one to haul something for me cause I can't fit it in my Toyota echo lol

You never know. Maybe there is someone else nearer you using that Craig's list. I "got lucky", last fall, 1,000 feet of poly pipe for $75, and the guy happened to be passing my way. I just had to go 3 miles to the Hwy. to meet him.

It's just not a rare thing. There has to be one near you, you gust gotta find it! (Not that you haven't tried)

Funds and a block finally came thru picking up the block tomorrow

DFlintstone

Just be careful! I was carying one once and stepped on the edge of a step and ended up dropping it! (four banger Fiat)

Fantastic..how much?

poorstang

100 bucks just needs machined

Picked up my new block today now off to machine shop tomorrow morning.

I started researching a cam too by going to jeep strokers and on most of the options they reccomend
Comp cams pn 68-115-4
68-231-4 or
68-235-4
But in summit racing all of these cams say that they cannot be used on fuel injected engines. If they cannot be used what cam should I go with? Im not looking for an extreme cam just a little more agresdive than stock

The block I found is an 89 what are the differences in an 89 block and a 97 block?

DFlintstone

I don't know myself. I think they added some struts or something to strengthen the newer blocks. I think I even saw some deal on a guy ADDING them..Idk, that doesn't sound right. Anyway I thought you might see something in this link that might help....

Yeah dunno if your still planning on the 5.0 stroker, but just a little FYI.. Had a buddy close bye going to buy a 4.9 stroker from Titan, and they told him they have to go through 2-3 blocks sometimes as the cylinder walls are sometimes too small.. I definitely wouldnt DD something like that..

Thinking about ordering some parts from 505 performance I have only heard good things from them what have you guys heard?

DFlintstone

Don't bother with consumerreports.org. "505 performance" is over the 4 hr limit! (they didn't seem to be there)

I might bounce that one up in the "ask a question" thread, maybe have a better chance of catching someone who has been there....
