cheap stroker in zj
hello. I'm am the not so proud owner of a 1996 grand cherokee with it's engine in the back seat. It is the original engine and was taken out for a rebuild. How hard would it be to put a jeep 4.2 crank in it and stroke it out. Would i be able to use the pistons and the rods out of the 4.0? Would this affect things like the fuel/air ratio in the cylinders or emissions testing? also, i have read that in 1996 jeep redesigned the engine to be quieter, smoother, and less harsh. would i still have these benifites. sorry about all the questions but i wantto do this right the first time for time and financial reasons. This is the only thing i will have to tow with.
thanks
thanks

You can use the 4.0 pistons but I think you have to use the 4.2 rods. I may be mistaken though.
