Re: Bought a partial stroker, what else do I need?
You didnt mention what you are doing with your flexplate or flywheel.
If you are confident that there is nothing wrong with your HB you can re-use.. Cheap insurance IMO to replace it. You want to make sure you get HB and FP\FW balanced with the crank.
Use a 4.0L Oil Pan.
You didnt mention what machine work you will be getting done or what your target build is going to be. Additionally you didnt mention what your putting this in. So i cant really recommend anything else you may have have missed. This includes knowing what length pushrods you will need.

If it feels right, then STROKE it!

I'm going to reuse my flywheel and get a new clutch & pressure plate
For 60 bucks I guess I will replace the HB. As for balancing it, the short block is built (when I bought it) and so is the head. They just were not mated together. As for machining I don't know how much was done to the deck or anything.
So a 4.0L pan will clear the crank? Will it need some hammer adjustments?
I'm putting this in a 1998 TJ with stock AX15 & 231. D44's w/ARB's & 4.88's Front & Rear. 33"x12.50" KM2's on Champion Beadlocks. 3.5" RE springs with Currie JJ short arms. Rear end is 3-Linked. Wheeled hard in the Rocks of Southern California.

Will it need some hammer adjustments? Only if you fit a high volume oil pump. Otherwise no.
