You have a fun jeep that is your smallish families extra vehicle/ recreation/ light trails or blasting around the desert. It needs to be streetable and reliable enough to drive to work daily or go run kids around to school or whatever in the event one of our other vehicles goes down or gets torn apart for surgery or I decide my truck is boring. This is not a trail rig and it isn't drag vehicle, but running the street legal drags or a trip to Moab for light trails wouldn't be out of the question. What would you do and why?
Assume that I am talking about a 4.7 stroker inline 6 with forged pistons, scat crank, scat rods, bigger cam, and ported head, and some forced induction. Now assume I have the stroker already and would only be adding the forced induction.
V.S. :firedevil
A gm 5.3 v8 swap with nothing more than headers, slightly bigger cam, and maybe cleaned-up heads.
The stroker 6 with forged induction is good for what? Maybe 325-350hp or maybe as much as 400hp if you get really froggy?
The 5.3 is good for about 350 with a bigger cam and some smallish mods.
The cost of forced induction for my stroker is anywhere from $2,000-$5,000 I'm guessing.
The cost of a 5.3 swap is $3,000-$4,000 I'm estimating, but I would also subtract the price of selling my stroker.
