sounds like your on a planned schedule, thats always good.
I dont know if you have the rad yet or not, but you might want to look for a 2row rad that has the thicker tubes.
http://www.americaneagleradiator.com/ is where we got ours. Reason being is that you get more air flow thru it at slow speeds (crawling) and at any real speed it gets alot of air thru it. More then a 3 row. A 4.0 (or even our 4.6ish with 10.5:1 and built) doesn't need alot of radiator, it needs a functioning, cooling system. This with a flowcooler pump is great for us. Very seldom do I turn on the elect fan, and just let the mech fan do its job, which keeps it at 190-200 unless a long pull up something or climbing something then the elect fan on, brings it down to 185 and never goes up.
We also swapped from the clifford header (I think this is what blew our motor, long story and not for in your thread of course) to a APN when we got the new long block in. Its been great. Its a coated header and noticed no reduction in feel of the butt HP or speed.
Is 4" of lift in the rear enough for 35" tires? We went straight to 5.5" and a 1.25 shackle and run a 1.25" Ubolt eliminator kit so total of 8" rear lift. It doesnt look that high at all though. But we use every .25" of that to fully cycle a laid back 10" 2.5" shock fully. In the front I had deaver do a custom 7" coil (was not cheap at all, like 650$). And we run the legal daystar bumps in the cans with the foam, these are awesome. You can never feel the car hit the bump at all.
I will not be running this year, and if you care to email, I would be more then happy to give you any pictures, or experience on what we did. Its a fully functioning race car now. Everything we did has been tuned and tested and I could not be more happy with anything on the Jeep.
