Re: Recommend a stroker for a 4500 Ultra4 Jeep
I about to drop this motor in this weekend. But I need to figure out what injectors I should run. Thinking about 24lb Ford ev6 injectors. This a good starting point?

Why yes it is. When I got the motor from Gerald it had a melted piston in #6. So I'm try to keep that from happening again.jsawduste wrote:That engine sounds like Gerald Lee and John s from the LJ.hurleygo3 wrote:I about to drop this motor in this weekend.

Well, I won a set of brand new Bosch 27lb ev6 injectors on Ebay. $38 for six. For that price I couldn't pass them up.

Re: Recommend a stroker for a 4500 Ultra4 Jeep
Drove it for the first time this weekend. Had Chris tune it and ended up with a set of Ford 27lb injectors. Runs great. It's spin the 37's and barks the tires into 2nd. Very happy with the power. Only issue was a oil leak at valve cover. Not sure what it will take to fix. The Hesco head casting is different and the gasket doesn't line up at the rear.

Re: Recommend a stroker for a 4500 Ultra4 Jeep
Looking good Mike !
Glad to see that Chris was able to help you out with tuning.
As ridiculous as it sounds I still have a 50/50 chance of making it to the lakebed. Be staying with Blaine, Gerald Lee and the gang if I make it. I`ll be looking for you if so.
Keep us posted on how it works out.
Maybe give Bennie a call on the gasket. They ought to have a solution.

Are you using the aluminum or steel valve cover?

Re: Recommend a stroker for a 4500 Ultra4 Jeep
I have the factory 2000 steel cover on there now. I have a Crown aluminum cover but the holes don't line up so I haven't tried that one.SilverXJ wrote:Are you using the aluminum or steel valve cover?
Using the blue rubber felpro gaskets.
Thanks

Re: Recommend a stroker for a 4500 Ultra4 Jeep
Well I killed the Hesco stroker
Got about 50 miles out of her.
So after talking with some people that know a lot more about strokers than myself. Thanks John. I'm building a new motor that should have a good mix of power, torque and run a little longer than 50 miles.
Specs
95 block bored .030 over and the deck cleaned up
7120 head with LS valves and springs with a little cleaning
SCAT crank
SCAT forged rods
Set of custom Diamond pistons to get a zero deck height
Roller rockers and a Hesco cam
Double roller
Hesco oil pump
OBDII with a coil pack
ECM will be tuned by Chris
Borla Headers
2001 intake
62mm TB
The motor will be blue printed and balanced. As soon as I pick the block up I will start the build.

Re: Recommend a stroker for a 4500 Ultra4 Jeep
Haven't pulled the hesco apart yet. I lost it pre-running 3 days before KOH. I lost a fuel pump and think it went lean. Didn't have a air/fuel gauge. That's going to change
SCAT just released rods.
