I am planning a budget stroker and need help with parts decisions.
I have 2 running RENIX 4.0 engines and a 99 4.0 with a spun rod bearing. This stroker will be replacing a 4.0 in a 1987 XJ.
I am planning to use a RENIX block because:
I am having trouble finding a 4.2 crankshaft. The supply seems to be much leaner than it was when I first looked at this a year ago. I understand I need a crank from a serpentine-equipped 4.2.
Can someone recommend a source for an affordable crank?
What vehicles, model and year, came with the right crankshaft? I may need to buy a junkyard engine to find one.
TIA

I am planning to use a RENIX block because:
- No ECU or harness changes required
- Knock sensor
- Stronger block; is this true?
- Intake and TB
- Camshaft
- PS pump and bracket
- Crank bearing girdle; will this fit the RENIX?
