Should I stay with the l6 an stroke it out or should I swap it out, and what to swap it out with

 

Do you know what Google is? Every thread you've made can be answered with less than 5 minutes of searching

 

^^^What this guy said.

But I'll be nice and reply anyway. There are several factors...What are you looking for in a motor? What's your budget? How mechanically inclined are you? Do you have the proper tools needed and knowledge/skill to custom fab items to fit a different motor?

 

No I'm not that mechanically smart yet plan on going to school for it next year but I think im going to stick with my stock motor lol an I'm looking to have something that will blaze through the trails with no problems and a lot of power

 

A 4.0L will do that just fine.

 

Patience. School->career->sufficient funds->play.

The things youre after take a significant amount of money and/or skill. Youll get there with the first word of this post.

 

Does anyone know the exact hp a 4.0 puts out

 

what year?

 

Running in perfect shape, the HO has 190hp, 225ft/lb torque. This is not RWHP but straight at the engine. It is also highly unlikely that any of them are making that anymore when bone stock.

The renix 4.0 (pre91) made 173hp, 220ft/lb torque.

The 2.8 v6 and the 2.5l 4cylinders made significantly less.

 

1996

 

depends on what you can do, if you can afford having the xj down for an undetermined amount of time go with a 5.3 vortec.

if you cant afford the down time, stroker

me: gonna run it till she blows then 5.3

 

What is considered a stroker cause I'm thinking about buying a 60 or 62 mm throttle body , 99+ header kit that's someone is selling on here

 

Smh..

An engine is considered to be stroked when you modify the crank/rods/piston (whatever black magic it is) so that the combustion chamber is taller. It changes the displacement from 4.0, usually to 4.6l with bored out cylinders and a crank from the older 4.2l jeep motors.

Just keep your stock motor. If you really want peppy then try to find axles with lower gearing in them.

 

Skip the stroker....been there, done that.

5.3L or 6.0L or don't do anything.

 

LS1, the dude drives this thing to work.
