ghetto garage build !

Post by lazybaka »

I've started a mess as my 98xj popped a oil pump @ 280k
I've got ..

a 88 block, 95 head, next week a 9.2yj 4.2l
I already have a 01 intake and borala header ..
I hope to get the porting started this weekend (just a bit)
then pickup the 4.2l next week !

I have a 88 cam , a 98 cam and I'm hoping to get some $ up for a new one
but I was wondering if I had to use stock which is the best ?

also I learned that the 88 head used bider stems for the valves then the 95
..crap

Can I use the girdle from my 98 block on the 88 block?
I've not seen it open yet, and I'm wondering if it's like a honda one
(alloy addition to the main caps machined into place)

i think you can use the main girdlw but youll need to space it out from the caps a little bit so it will clear the crank.

You will also need the main cap bolts with the stud end for the main girdle to fit.

so if I've used the calculator right, the base stroker with the 258 rods and the 99/01 cam
makes for 9:79 s and the "perfect" 8:1 d , with the ford 24lbs injectors I should (at sea level)
be able to make this run on 89?
