Biggest engine in a Cherokee?

mission-inc · Jun 4, 2004

I'm just curious...

But anywho, what's the largest engine you've ever seen dropped into a cherokee? I once saw in a wheelin' mag awhile back a big block v8 if I can remeber correctly, it was acouple years ago.

i saw one that was entered into top truck challenge that had a 454 with two radiators

that one with the 454 sounded awesome, does anyone have specs on that vehicle and how did he fit that motor?

Its simple your build a tube frame. Install the motor and running gear, cut a unibody apart and reassemble it around the motor and tube frame throught the liberal use of a sawzall, BFH, plasma cutter, and duct tape.

sounds simple...lol

the one you are reffering to is white. there are two of them actually one has a 454(white one w/ blue exo cage and like 49" iroks) and the other has a smaller BB i think(correct me if im wrong). both have 1 ton axles. both have tires bigger than 44".

here are some pics that were borrowed from www.xjdb.com

Not sure what engine this is but I'm pretty positive it's not a strait 6:

If it is, that's a good chop. The XJ ( if we can call it that still) with the blue exo looks sweet!

I know one runs 2.5 ton Rockwells (white w/ blue cage).

The blown one looks SCARY, check out that steering and shit.

The black one looks like something out of Mad Max.

Ramsey · Jun 4, 2004

the one i saw with the 454 was not one of the ones your talking about, it was smaller. i can try and dig through my old magazines if i still have them and try and find it. i do remember that he was running dana 44 front and rear :wow:

xj_punk · Jun 4, 2004

they both run deuce and a halfs... not one tons (that would be scary)

woody431 · Jun 4, 2004

The one under the one with Iroks is running Michelins of some size......those things are crazy..the blown one is ugly imo

xjrugger · Jun 4, 2004

i would take the white one wit the blue exo, the blower one's steering geometry is way crazy and with those ugly mickey t's i think it's garbo. He does have the c/o upfront but it must not drive down the highway without putting the fear of God in all who ride inside. BTW the TTC applicant owned either a black or dark blue with a 454 and 35 x like 15 swampers or boggers. Again, kudos to the white xj.

xjrugger · Jun 4, 2004

actually now i look at it and those are 2 diff. white cherokees, both look great

yes i realized what i typed. meant to put 2.5 tons because of the rockwells. my mistake

and doesn't that rear longarm look like its mounted to the sidestep? yikes!

Not in an XJ but one of those big name ball players had a V-10 viper motor put in a TJ back in 98....

i heard about that a while back.
if i remember correctly he was a center for the new orleans saints. he said that he loved to pull up next to f-bodys and pulling the front end up! he had 35's i think, also.
