Jeep Strokers

Greetings,

Not sure if this is the place for sharing but here goes. First timer and all.

I just got word that my new motor is built and shipped and on its way to me in Oregon. Built by Golen and they seam to good work. Check out the video they sent me...

Chad Golen has a very good reputation and builds a good engine.

I'm sure you'll be very happy.

Chad's been in the stroker business for a long time and his engines are also reasonably priced. You'll be a happy bunny.

Does Golen have a core charge?

Engine builders will charge you for a engine core otherwise it's factored into the cost of the engine

No they don't.

Update...

Motor installed and breaking it in. For some reason I am getting 12 plus mpg in town which is strange due to the fact that I have a heavy right foot.
Love this motor.

If you dont mind me asking what did that beast cost you? Im just about to pull the trigger on my 2000 Wrangler and I want to be far from dissappointed. Have you tried pulling a boat or racing the local high school gear head? Give us a comparision on how it performs.

One of my customers told me he was quoted little over 5K for a long block without oil pan, valve cover, ..

I just installed my Golen 4.6 stroker. First motor I ever installed and not 1 buddy to help. I had at least 50 emails and dozens of phone calls, so I took advantage of that included tech support. I have 200 miles on it now and I'm throwing a 11 code but it started up and runs like a top. Lots more POWER. I have 6in lift 35in heavy toyo m/ts with 3.73 gearing and it powers thru 5th gear now way faster than I care to take a long arm lifted Wrangler. Stock my TJ would not run up a slight hill on the freeway in 5th gear now no problem. Gears are coming this week so it will be a real torque monster with 4.56. All in all I spent 7k and went big with all the bolt on parts for that little extra power. Chad Golen will give you a wicked engine and piece of mind with 3 year unlimited mileage guarantee and he's got a mountain of patience for newbies like me.
