4.6 Stroker happiness

kf_chris · Jan 4, 2010

I happily picked up the jeep from Tyler last night. It pulls. Nuff said. I am completely pleased with the quality of work, communication, and ability of Tyler and RSOR Offroad. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this. My jeep rules. Oh and I attached pics of the new parts that I have yet to install. Ford 8.8 LSD, HP30 locked, AA SYE and Tom Woods DS. 4.10 gears should help the already IMPRESSIVE pick up.
The pics and videos should speak well as a testament. I'll have some acceleration video sometime when I can swing the time for it.

Oh and Tyler/Dan...that wheel is dented and that IS where it leaks. Fortunately the spare was close and is now on.

Idle from the bumper for sound

From behind the jeep

Just looks like the valve cover is painted.

Hmmm, can I add HP by painting my valve cover?

YJ-GENRAL · Jan 4, 2010

the whole block is painted red to match the jeep but it is hard to tell that from the pics.

looks good chris.

bigalpha · Jan 4, 2010

So I need to paint the whole block, too? Gotcha.

Is this a better mod than stickers?

YJ-GENRAL · Jan 4, 2010

WAY better than stickers.

stickers only add up to 5 hp per sticker but painting the engine block is like atleast 50 horses

but it takes more time...

kf_chris · Jan 4, 2010

I have stickers too.

Thanks Blake!

We did not paint the SS header for obvious reasons.

bigalpha · Jan 4, 2010

It's a nice looking piece of work.

I know the bored TB is what is making that engine rock.

PacificEd · Jan 4, 2010

Looks good. It's to believe a week ago I saw the same block and heads of that same engine waiting on pistons and rods. Very clean install too.

It looks like RSOR did a neat job fabbing the coil pack brackets to work with the earlier head.

If you don't mind, How much did you spend?

High2by · Jan 4, 2010

I bet that thing will scooooot.

Looks like a 00-01 from the distributorless ignition am I right? If it is did you use the 0331 head or swap out for a 97-99 head?

Team Willys · Jan 5, 2010

Chris's Jeep is a 2000 and did have the 0331 head. While his was an un-cracked casting, I wasn't very comfortable with it since they have a bad reputation. I got a 91-95 HO head, had it ported and polished and put it on the 00 block.

I don't mind. It's north of 4 grand. I did no work on this engine at all though. Costs could be saved in many ways. I just chose not to.

Gross understatement. It creates a very fun "YEEEHAWWWW" feeling when you press the skinny pedal

desired effect was achieved then

kf_chris · Jan 5, 2010

Oh yes I can't wait for the axles to get put in.

what had to be done as far as tuning and different injectors?
