New to the forum, hope this is in the right place.
I have finally gotten the saved enough money to put a motor in my 1979 CJ7 Golden Eagle. I'm leaning strongly towards the 4.6l Golen motor. Since the motor is really for a '91-'95 YJ I'll be looking at new exhaust but was hoping someone could tell me what other things won't just bolt on and work.
Other details:
I'm gonna put the 258 intake on the stroker initially, until I have time and money for EFI.
I am a college student and my budget for the swap is pretty firm at $5,000 stretchable to no more than $5,300
Also what would be a project people would like to see with the extra 258 and 4.0 head that will wind up in my garage...it'll probably end up in my 1982 Scrambler..

I used a 93 GC block for my stroker and it didn't have a place for the fuel pump. I had to go with an electric pump.

Re: Golen 4.6 in a CJ7
Hey Seth, did you get the Golen stroker? Did it work out for you? I am considering putting in a Golen 4.6 in my 84' CJ-7 this winter or maybe finding someone local who can help build one for me. I live in Nederland, CO. What did you end up going with? I am considering the following:
Golen 4.6 Stroker
Banks, K&N or Scorpion Cool Air Intake
Doug Thorley Headers
Cat Back Pipes
Dui Performance Distributor & Coil Kit
Holley Truck Avenger 470 CFM Carb
Figure I will need a new wiring harness too
Not sure if I will need the following (might need to upgrade later depending on how it runs):
Accel 62mm throttle body
Accel 24lb Fuel injectors
Flowcooler Water Pump
180 Thermostat - high flow balanced
Radiator / Fan
