Jeep Strokers

I’ve a question and sorry total newbie on the stroker topic so apologize in advance ,

I guess my question is what 2 4.0 litre engines were/are best to marry up to start the stroker build , I know theirs different bore or stroke I think depending on year ,

I can get one serial # 53010341 pretty cheap, and would like to know if that’s a good candidate to start with, and if so what would be a year or block number I should look for that would be good to get the crank from etc ,

What model and year of Jeep do you have?
I believe the block number you mentioned is from a '97-'98 XJ, and you can use any '72-'90 258 crank for a stroker build.

Mines a 2002 TJ, I’d like to find 2 engines to slowly do the build without pulling current engine until it’s time to swap out

Also
Thanks for the links , that’s much appreciated, great info and help

It would be better to find a 4.0L engine from an '02-'06 TJ so that the bosses for the engine mount brackets match up. You'd also be able to mount your coils without any hassle, and reuse the factory header.

Ahhh ok that’s awesome lol mid, really appreciate that
