Hey Guys
I am going to be buying a Cherokee soon, and I want to stroke the motor right away. I was wondering what was the best year and the easiest year to stroke is? I am looking at either a 95,96, or 97+ year with a 5-speed. I would think that OBDII would tend to complicate things a little more. There is emissions testing in my area as well. OBDI is a visual inspection. OBDII is done through the computer. This xj is going to be my daily driver and I don’t plan to lift it or put huge tires on it. It won’t go off-road much, but will see off-road use occasionally. I was looking at stroker long-blocks on eBay such as this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ry=33615&item=7947957632&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Does anybody have any experience with these guys? I am also thinking of other things I will need such as a Header, Clutch, Radiator, Water pump, thermostat, valve cover, oil pan, timing cover, etc. I am semi-mechanical inclined, but my buddy does it for a living, so he can help me put it in. If anybody has any other advice, it’s much appreciated. Thanks a bunch…
