You have a 4.9?

With the 232 bored over .030 it's only a 4.12, but it makes 241 HP. It's amazing how that little amount of displacement can increase the power and maintain the same stock compression.

I use the stock 4.0 rods and cam. The only things that changes is the crank and pistons. Pistons have to be dished out an extra 10cc to get the compression down to 8.8. Without dishing it makes 270 HP but the compression is 10:1 and premium is required.

Stroking the 258 was more expensive and costly than 232, but it's a lot more common. I might even have to have one remanufactured.

My bad, we have those thin exhaust manifolds. I was thinking of the cast iron ones for some reason.

Yup. I used an IH 258 block and a few parts from 505 Performance. The head is 4.0 with Chevy valves, springs and injectors.

Too much stress at work and home. Seriously can't think straight right now.

I was only saying V8 so it would have the beefier tie rod. Only reason I was gonna grab one from a ZJ.

What's the best year to get? I want to stay away from LP and vacuum disco.

If any one wants it there's a 4.10 8.25 down here

Yea, I have a 95 ho 4.0. thought about getting it welded. Read that the apn or something like that is pretty good. And its like a hundred something. But imma wait so I can change the whole exhaust system along with it.


9 am on Saturday? I'm so down!!!!

Also.... Go heat!!!! What a game! And I'm not trashed :P

i think i missed something. when and where is this jeep meet in june?

We're going riding in doral down 41st street in doral on saturday.

Get a HP from an XJ. All ZJ D30s are LP and some had cv axle shafts instead of u-joints.

you did not hear about the double secret special jeep club meeting in june ?

What he said... Disco 30's came up to 91... So 91+ and get one with abs... Has the 297 axle shafts... this is why not to getba zj one... The tie rods are just steering.joint and can be had brand new for like $25 each... No reason to get at a JY...

Why is abs better?
