im looking in to a new head headers intake and some other performance parts but i dont know if i should rebuild the bottom end or buy a remanufactured engine or if i have to do that at all for that matter my fear is rebuilding the top end and having the compression difference blow the rings and end up with a piston in my new head or having some other catasterfy happen and trash my new parts, and or just drop one of the crate motors in that is offered

i need help from some people who have already gone through this please

and has anyone put in a 4.7 stroker in? will it fit or will i have to mod some stuff

If it was me I'd get the 4.6 stroker from golden. I've have two buddies running them without having any issues yet. I did a top end rebuild about a week after I got mine and I now wish I would have just bought the stroker.

oh ok thanks so the 4.6 stroker will fit then right?
quadratec.com said it wouldnt
is there two different 4.6 strokers?

Contact golenengineservice.com I would call them directly but I've never heard of there being any differences between the wrangle blocks and the Cherokee blocks. Mopar is also putting out a stroker motor it would be another option for you to check into.

Buying an engine is the easy but expensive way. Less time consuming.
Rebuilding your engine is the hard but cheap way. More time consuming.

Really just depends on how important the extra money is to you.
If you rebuild your engine from top to bottom and stroke it, it is basically just like what your buying. Brand new essentially.

yeah i didnt think there was ether but i figured i would ask just to make sure. im goin with the stroke for sure ill keep you guys updated

First off, how many miles are on the motor you have? How does it generally run? Would you otherwise think (prospective mods aside) that it is time for a new motor? These are the questions that need to be answered first and foremost before you go dump a load of cash. It would appear that you have some reservations about the motor you allready have, would that be a fair statement?
