id love to convert my 4.0 to a v8.wondered if anyone put a ol 318 in a cherokee or anything. i know sbc 350's have been done. but havent heard anything about a 318. or maybe i didnt search hard enough

 

Since the Grand Cherokee could have a V8, I would venture a guess that it could fit with alot of stock parts.

 

There is a thread on here somewhere about someone putting a v8 from a grand cherokee into a xj. If thats what you are talking about doing its not really worth it.
4.0l =190hp 225 lb-ft of torque
5.2l(318) = 225 hp 300 lb-ft of torque

I say stroke it. Cheaper and more power.

 

i mean id re-build the engine. and boar it out and stuff. but a 4.7 stroker is looking cheaper i guess. ill keep dreamin.

 

My uncle had a Grand with a 360 or a 390...I forget which.... anyways it was factory and it hauled *****. I say go all out if your gonna do it...

 

360 5.9l

 

yup I just googled it lol, god bless the internet

245 hp, 335tq on the 360

 

haha and god bless google.

 

id just love to have that muscle car rumble and power under my hood. but the jeep is no muscle car

 

Thats the idea...right? a Sleeper Jeep.....so when those pesky rice burners pull up next to you....well, ya know

 

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!
throw some like 30 inch radials so its still big. it'd be so quick

 

I would go with the stroker and that way it all fits in there much better and I would think it would be lighter too...but not sure about that.

 

......then pick just about anything other than a 318.
