Looking for some advise on wat I should do with my motor. I have an 01' xj the motor is on its last leg I'm debating on if I should pull the motor in it out and rebuild myself or just buy a reman motor and have it done in a weekend. if I rebuild it will be all new top to bottom cam pistons valves new head exc. just looking for some advise

 

If I were you, I'd be looking at this as and excuse to build a stroker

 

I don't really need anymore hp or torque just want reliability If I can go with a reman and drop it in over a weekend and be just as reliable as a motor that will take me a couple of weeks rebuild and around the same price I would choose a reman crate motor

 

No one really needs more power but its always convenient. Im waiting for mine to start dieing out so I can jump on a stroker/turbo build

 

Haha yeah that's true
I see the 505 in your User name have you ever looked into the 505 performance stuff?

 

Ive looked at there kits, but no more than that. When I do mine I might head over there for a qoute/advice with Turbocharging a Stroker. I want a 4.5 or 4.6 with a t4 turbo around 12 psi. 505 is just our Area code, but its convienent that there so close. Apparently they have made the most powerfull inline jeep engine at just under 700 horses and Just under 800 ft lbs of tq

 

Yeah I know JP mag had a story about it like four or five years ago those are insane numbers out of an inline six!
