4.6L Low-buck, low CR "rockcrawler" questions
Posted: January 31st, 2019, 5:02 pm
I see this recipe and I think it what I am looking for...
Not looking for anything crazy, but want to build something better than a 4.0 and want to keep it on pump gas (87). Mostly because I want to turn 35's on a 1997 TJ w/ 4.88's. Will be replacing the 2.5l currently with 4.88's w/ 33's.. Will most likely end up putting a header on it and the stock intake.
I don't see too many comments about this build out here. Is there a reason for it?
Is there a good list of part to purchase for this? I see pistons listed, but they say mod them to 30cc, etc. Is there anyone that just makes them?
As for the rods, I see both 4.0 and 4.2 rods w/ a 4.2 crank. Is there just a good place to purchase pistons and a crank and use the stock 4.0 rods and make it just easy without any crazy mods?
My goals. Pump gas, slight build on a 4.0 for more power for the 35's, and the biggest one, reliability..
Thanks!
