Jeep 4.0 stroker project
So I have a 1992 jeep with the H.O 4.0. After the engine failed I decided to build a stroker. But I have no idea where to start. Whether to make it a 4.6 or a 4.8, etc. Any tips? I have a $2000 budget

With a budget that modest, I think the 4.6L modified poor man's stroker recipe (see link in my sig) is the one to aim for.

But with such a generalized question, I think you need to do a lot of research before you even start down this road. Go read Dino's website like 5 times through to get an idea, then talk to Russ about getting parts and setting a compitant machine shop of your choice straight on what to do.

Re: Jeep 4.0 stroker project
If you're sure you want to do it the first thing to do is search your local junk yards and craigslist for a 258. If you can find one it could sure help save funds. You can work out the build details later but you'll need a crank no matter what. I think the new ones go for around $500. I found a guy that pulled a 258 out of a CJ to put a 304 in. I gave him $50 for the 258, pulled the crank, and took the rest to the scrapper for $55. This was several years ago of course, when there were more 258s and scrap was still worth something but its still worth looking.

Re: Jeep 4.0 stroker project
Mike,
Your welcome to shoot me a call or email and I would be happy to go over a stroker kit proposal and answer any questions that you might have.
As Dino points out and demonstrates on his website, a Stroker can be built on any budget.
The advantages of a Stroker build over a stock 4.0 rebuild are significant.
