4.7l forged turbo build underway

[TheZaZ]

Yea thats why they are blue there. They are really nice lookin rods. I am actually going with a little different cam. 218/224 ...better for a turbo then the cam I originally listed......really dont want to spin the motor over 6. And since its an auto i dont want to have to run a high stall and i would with the 226/234 cam.

Im lookin to get around 320-330 n/a, and im shootin for 450-500 on boost at the crank. If i can make 350-400rwhp id be pretty damn happy. I may be able to make more but ill have to see how it does once the turbo is on. The motor should be able to handle 20psi or so but id prob only run that much at the track

[TheZaZ]

Also I live in colorado, elevation here in Calhan where i live is 6,500ft. Both tracks I go to are 4,900ft and 5,900ft.

[TurboTom]

I made almost 500 ft/lbs and 450 HP at 13 lbs on my 4.0, so you should have no problem meeting your goals.

[TheZaZ]

Wow...those are good numbers.

I guess I'll be the first to find out. Im sure whatever I end up making, it will still be a blast to drive.

[TheZaZ]

Head is on, rockers on, and head is painted. (chrysler red)

Those are the ARP head bolts? What is the part number? I thought ARP didn't make a direct fit set for the 4.0L

[TheZaZ]

Yea they are. I might have to wait till i get home and look at the sheet that came with them but I got them from 505 performance. Ill check the paper out for ya when I get home. Probably be about 2hrs or so.

[TheZaZ]

I checked the paper out. There was not a part number anywhere on it.

[TheZaZ]

Timing cover and oil pan on

[TheZaZ]

Intake manifold on, header on, injectors on, throttle body on, alternator and motor mounts on. It will be ready to go back in my jeep this weekend.

Still have to clean up the engine compartment this week.

[TheZaZ]

Dropped the motor back in the jeep last night. Just need a water pump, plugs ard wires and oil. I am goin to get everything hooked back up and hopefully start it for the first time next weekend.
