So, with around 230k on my stock 4.0 she is finaly showing signs of age with puffs of smoke here and there.
I've been researching strokers for a wile now and getting weary of building one instead of just getting it factory rebuilt. Most of my concerns come from write ups saying things must be done and othrs haveing no mention of such things. One of them is the fuel pump or regulator.
My question is, can I just use stock everything (head,valve train, timeing stuff, pistons) with 4.2 rods, crank and new camshaft but just mill the block down to keep it from blowing up? Or do I need the different pistons some places say?
I'm ok with running higher octane since its a not a dd.
Another fear is disappointment, most people that did the swap ive read seem to be let down tho not saying it.
