Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
Hello.
Anyone have experience with the SEALED POWER PISTONS (P/N: 677AP)? They have a compression height of 1.585.
I measured the deck height and found that the front measures 9.4475 and the rear at 9.450.
With the 232 crank and 4.0 rods, these pistons will be approximately .010-.0125 out of the hole.
So if I use the stock .052 head gasket I'd have a .040 quench.
Right? Please advise.
Still a lil ways away from ordering that camshaft btw.

Oops, that's been answered already, my bad.
Carry on.

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
Not sure if this has been asked, but how would I increase the dish volume on the pistons? Would this be done at a machine shop? Thanks!Cheromaniac wrote:Just added these to my stroker page. What do you think?
If you all thought that the old AMC 232 I6 crankshafts were only destined for scrapheap oblivion, think again. There are plenty of them around and with a 3.500" stroke, you can use them to convert a stock 4.0L engine into a 4.2L mini-stroker. While it doesn't have the displacement of an AMC 258 crank-based stroker, the 258 cranks are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive so a mini-stroker offers a low cost alternative to more HP/TQ:
4.2L Milder mini-stroker
AMC 232 3.500" stroke crank
Jeep 4.0L 6.125" rods
Silvolite UEM-2229 +0.060" bore pistons
Increase piston dish volume to 15cc
9.6:1 CR
CompCams #68-231-4 206/214 degree camshaft
Ported HO 1.91"/1.50" cylinder head
Mopar/Victor 0.043" head gasket
0.040" quench height
Ford 24lb/hr injectors with adjustable FPR or MAP adjuster for '87-'95 engines, Ford 24lb/hr injectors for '96-'04 engines, '99-'00 Chevy LS1 26.2lb/hr injectors for '05-'06 engines
262hp @ 5200rpm, 302lbft @ 3750rpm
4.2L Wilder mini-stroker
AMC 232 3.500" stroke crank
Jeep 4.0L 6.125" rods
Silvolite UEM-2229 +0.060" bore pistons
10.1:1 CR
CompCams #68-235-4 210/218 degree camshaft
Ported HO 1.91"/1.50" cylinder head
Mopar/Victor 0.043" head gasket
0.040" quench height
Ford 24lb/hr injectors with adjustable FPR or MAP adjuster for '87-'95 engines, Ford 24lb/hr injectors for '96-'04 engines, '99-'00 Chevy LS1 26.2lb/hr injectors for '05-'06 engines

Yeah, a machine shop should be able to do that for you.

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
I put together a lot of these kits and offer a CNC modified option for the 2229 Silvolite Piston.
If I could be of any help feel free to contact me.

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
What work needs to be done to run the 12CW pre 71 cranks with an aw4?

The 258 cranks were the only ones offered with a 12 counterweight option.ghetdjc320 wrote:What work needs to be done to run the 12CW pre 71 cranks with an aw4?
The early 64-71 232 crankshaft had a flat rear flange.
Later 72-79 casting 3214722 came with the centering ring.
That's the one you want. It has a 2.500 length snout, so you'll have to shorten it or use one of my $35.00 spacers.
Hope this helps

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
How much dish can be taken out of the silvolites with this combo? Ie: down to what compression can we get to for a boosted application.
Please advise

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
I've safely increased the dish to 26cc.
... That said if your planning to add boost, a forged piston upgrade would be advisable. At that point it would make more financial sense just to step up to a 4.6/4.7 build.

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
Hmmm. Well, already I already have block back from machine shop and 232 crank polished and 4.0 rods set up for mini striker. Was just tossing around the idea of putting the m90 I have in my garage in it. Still yet to order piston and camshaft. Something to think about I guess.

Re: New 4.2L mini-stroker recipes
If you already have your crankshaft and rods ready to go then maybe a custom 4032 forged piston might be worth considering under the circumstances.jpradcliffe wrote:Hmmm.

The modified cast piston you're looking like $200.00 for the set or the Forged $495.00
I'd be more than happy to assist in either direction.
