Widowmaker
I finally got a hold of some old video of Widowmaker hill on Metal Masher and did a comparison of it in 1991 to 2011. It got a lot bigger.

Although the 2011 half has no sound....I need better video editing software that does not hate VOB files.

Quote: or I could just wait till the motor is done and do what you did
I would stay away from forced induction if your going to take it offroad. at least a turbo anyway, they are a lot more $$, time, and effort then most people expect when adding a turbo to a non-turbo vehicle. let alone maintenance. then keeping it cool

you could not have the inter-cooler on-top as it would not clear the hood, so you would need it out front, but you have a winch there. so you would be limited to size and air flow for an air-air cooler. water-air could work... but again $$$ for custom **** lol

I would do a stroker in a heartbeat over any forced induction for a "offroad" vehicle. off the shelf parts all known to the 4.0L. getting parts, others having parts, ect are a lot more common then turbo parts

A super charger would be fine, as its more compact, requires less cooling, less custom BS and still a good power adder, but is more $$ then a stroker unless found used for a steal...

while we are on the topic of power why not re-gear first and see how it goes. your going to want to re-gear even with a power adder of any kind. if your not in your power band your not utilizing any setup.

just my thoughts...

If I can't sell my short block I will be building another stroker just for fun lol

I'll take them off your hands, unless there is a hidden fee. Lol
You ever figure what gears you have? Still planning on swapping your axles?
