I got an engine going into my XJ since the original one needs a rebuild...so, I've been doing some looking around. And I was wondering if there is a 4.3 kit. All Ive been seeing are 4.5's and higher.

Or would I be better off getting a rebuild kit, which excludes the crankshaft, then buy a new one (my crankshaft is needing work and the quote I got to ground it down is much $$$$)

What do you guys think?

 

If your gonna stroke it go 4.9 if not why even rebuild it when you can pick one up for VERY cheep at any junk yard

I dont wanna go that big. Thing about junk yard is never know what condition the engine is in....thats my experience anyway.

 

curious why you dont want to go bigger while you can?

 

I do wanna go bigger, just not 4.9....4.5 at the biggest.

 

You seemed so stoked about all of this....
