Re: stroker noob questions for 94 YJ

Hey all, I hope this is the correct topic to post in because i am definitely a noob. I have a 97 ZJ with a 4.0 that had a recent leak in he head. I have had it checked this week and the machine shop is telling me that it has a major crack and they do not feel good about attempting a repair. That being said i have decided that i will go ahead and build the stroker that i want. Like a lot of folks here i want to budget this out and spread the cost out where i can. I think the "Low-Buck 4.6" will fit me the best but i am unsure how to start.

Since i am not a machinist can you assist me on how to let the machinist know what i need done to the block at minimum. I want to do as much of this myself (outside any machining) that i can. Also is the Block even where i should be starting or does gathering all needed materials first make more sense? Thank you for any incite you can provide i am just needing to create a clear direction of how to tackle this project and dont want to miss anything.

You can reuse the '97 block, oil pan, connecting rods, timing cover, cam bolt kit, oil slinger, and rocker arms/bolts for your stroker build but just about everything else will need to be replaced so start making a shopping list.
