Default Stroking My XJ.

I was wondering if there is any kits out there or would it be better to pick and chose to get the best parts for a 4.6L stroker. I know that trucks did a episode but that really didn't help me that much.

You can use your existing block an head. You will still have to have all the machine work done and head work done as well.

It is often easier to have a block outside the jeep to build up then just swap, easier so you don't forget where everything goes and it's still drivable while you build the engine.
