What are some pros and cons of the 4.6 I have a 4.0 ready to go boom and have a line on a 4.6. What's you opinions on it
Haha that may be a good ideasevenservices said:I can start cleaning the garage up here lol
Well my problem us she sees highway driving. She sees a lot of snow wheeling. A lot of sand. Mud. But also we do a lot of crawling and stuff too. We see almost every type of wheeling there is and with only 33s and 4.10s she revs quite highbanks316 said:Yea if you looking for high hose power then yes. I love my 4.7 wouldn't want any other motor but my engine never sees above 2800 rpm
Gotcha my jeep runs 2400rpm ish at 80MPH so I dont rev it high and all my wheeling is done in trails and rocks so the stroker is a good choice for me.Well my problem us she sees highway driving.

???? your joking right? the 4.0 isnt a "high revving" motor to begin with... a stroker does not limit you in anyway... a 4.6 will rev out to 5100-5200 rpms all day long.... the 4.7 stroker has been running the baja since the 4.0 was born, and those engines live near the rev limiter...The stroker gives all its power in the low end. While the 4.0 give it more mid. Strokers are not high reving motor compared to the 4.0. If you looking for a motor for running trails/rocks where your crawling its a great motor but if you looking for deep mud/sand where you need to rev it to clean the tires this wouldn't be a good choice.
are you building a race engine or a DD, at the shop I have built 2 long block 4.6's for 2500 bucks OTD.Aren't the stroker kits incredibly expensive compared to dropping in a larger more common motor like a 5L ford or a 5.7 chevy? While you don't have to go putting in adapters and new mounts and all of that, I've been quoted upwards of $6000-7000 to stoke a 4.0L. That seems incredibly high for what you're getting.

How the heck have you gotten your jeep up to 80? Lol. I got mine up to just under 75 on the floor lol. Also down a hill to...banks316 said:Gotcha my jeep runs 2400rpm ish at 80MPH so I dont rev it high and all my wheeling is done in trails and rocks so the stroker is a good choice for me.
He's got the stroker. And its all about gearing. I can put mine to about 85 but that's practically redlining itcakes567 said:How the heck have you gotten your jeep up to 80? Lol. I got mine up to just under 75 on the floor lol. Also down a hill to...
