Stroker Build: Please check my list
Posted: September 23rd, 2011, 2:12 pm
I have decided to build my Jeep engine stroker. The jeep is 2001 California registered vehicle so it is important to pass SMOG. The environmental climate where this Jeep will run is on an average 95 F with a humidity of 90%. I will be shipping this Jeep to the Philippines next year but to pass customs, it has to pass California smog standards first. My collected parts for the Stroker:
Crankshaft 4.2L 1989 model
Connecting Rods 4.L
Pistons: Keith Black 2229 0.030 over
Block NVH 4.0L
Camshaft: Crane 753905
Cylinder Head 4.0L, I may get it polish and ported depending on the cost
Gasket: 0.043 or 0.051
Fuel injection 2001 from my Jeep
Headers from my Jeep
According to the calculator from Jeep stroker if the block is decked at 0 and the dished piston at 13 cc, the SCR will be 9.26 and the DCR will 7.49. Is this correct? I do not want to play with air-fuel mix ratio.
What kind of injectors will I be using, stock, Ford or Accel?
Can this run on 87 pump gas? I need 87 octane rating.
Can I use stock rocker arms, valve springs? I’d like to use to keep cost down.
I will cc the head and the cylinders to get the right cr. I will also play with dish volume to get the right amount.
Also, do the connecting rods get balanced before the piston is press fitted? If yes, I can balance it myself first.
Please provide suggestions and or feedback.
