Im building a budget stroker out of a 96 (i beleive..) 4.0 and using a 80' 258 as the donor. The 4.0 is in great shape so im not boring it, just honing with new rings. While looking to buy a rebuild kit online, they list kits for 87-95 4.0 and 96-up 4.0. Does anyone know the difference in these. Im not sure if i should get the 96-up for my 4.0 block and pistons, or the 87-95 kit for my older crank and rods.

I was under the impression that all the bearings were the same between 258s and 4.0s all the way till 06'

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the type of piston ring was changed in 96', but that's all. Don't quote me on that, but I remember hearing it on the forum a while ago.
