I thought my tstat cracked or the gasket was leaking really bad, after 3 hours of researching I realized i just needed to tighten the upper radiator hose clamp. The front was dry, but in the back a tiny trickle ran down the housing at idle and dripped from the bottom. At higher rpm it sprayed everywhere so I couldn't see exactly where the leak was until I cleaned up and watched. A lot more work than it had to be.

the stroker is mated to the transmission finally!!! after two days of yelling obscenities at it...

all thats left is
put trans dipstick tube in
exhaust
intake
all connections on right side of engine
PS pump
put front end back on
and dump break in oil and start her up!!!

And then you can find another 4.7L to put in mine.

build one. and i will help put it in. mine was on the high end but you can find the stuff for cheap.
AMC 4.2L crank from JY
AMC 4.2L rods (shorter than 4.0)
and thats a 4.5L.

if you bore it .060 over then you get the 4.7 or get custom pistons that let you use the stock length rods like i did then you only need to go .030 over


im building a spare as soon as im done installing this one. remember my grenaded engine? lol its gonna be a 5.2L stroker.

Put on the generic vent shades I bought off ebay. Not bad for $30.

well went wheelin saturday and tranny is toast. wont pull when hot. bearly when its cold. but got my overkill tow hooks on and i finally named her....

Hahaha, what a jackass lol. Twas a joke dont get grumpy

love it. swamp donkee...

i like those tow hooks too.

i just got done wrestling my trans trying to get it to line up with block. good luck!

Come on bud, you got this. You have to get it all bolted up and have some fun with it

Finally got a warning when I got pulled over. 49 in a 25. Record is squaky clean. Up to date insurance and registration. Consealed weapon permit. He let me go lol

Got the oil pan off and is installing new rod bearings and pan gasket in the 4.0, hopefully the new gasket will solve the oil leaking problem

How much are those decks? I've been looking for one.

I honestly found it in my new houses attic yesterday... kinda of awesome yet alarming at the same tine
