Not sure on that one, that would be a good question to ask in the tech forums. My first guess would be 190, but that is merely a guess. Check w/ Collin (BIGSLVRXJ) b/c I think he ordered a new VC and you can ask him about it and the results etc.

I'd go with 190 in a stroker myself, but make sure you have good ventilation and high flow water pump and fan, not stock stuff. Jeeps run hot to start with, a stroker has more heat buildup and it needs a hi flow pump and better ventiation such as hood scoop or vents in the hood. Heck with my rebuild of a stock motor I'm adding hi flow pump and hood ventilation.....I think I have a hood scoop for my offroader too but I forget if it survived the tornado or not.
Oh and you can modify the cooling system from closed to open for under a hundred $ that helps too.

I am thinking that possibly the weekend of June 6&7 would be a good one for me. I know that the next 4 weekends after that I am booked. But that is just me, so if everyone else has a weekend that works better for them go right ahead. I will double check my planner at the office tomorrow to make sure I am not possibly double booking myself.

June 6th and 7th would work fine for me. Gives me a week to get all my parts in order and line up some tools and a solid workspace. Not to mention this coming weekend and next week are our busiest of the summer (boater season kicks off) the bar will be packed.
But if that works for all the other Iowa guys, thats fine with me.

I have yet to work on a 00-01 with the individual coil packs, but surely it can not be too difficult since we are basically just talking about swapping out the long block etc. Between Jeeps and my farm vehicles, I am about to average one motor swap a month I will be talking w/ Collin and Mike to see what their plans are looking like. I think Collin is pretty open and we can bring my truck out and haul the hoist along w/ a few tool boxes and some cheese. Too bad that SOB only gets like 13 MPG!

yeah, it is around 8 hours for me too, add another couple hours for me to get to DSM, so it will be a good day trip to get out there.
