I am building up a stroker for my 2000 XJ w/ AW4.
I will be using:
93 block out of a YJ
93 #7120 Casting Number Head
1978 258 12 CW crank out of a CJ7
93 4.0L Rods
.020 over KB 944 pistons w/ moly rings from cnc performance
Comp Cams CL68-232-4 + lifter kit
Cloyes double roller timing gear/chain set
99 +intake
Stock TB
Stock coil rail/ignition system
Stock Computer
The machine shop is waiting for the crank (needed to be reground) to check the deck of the block. I have read conflicting statements on if the KB944 pistons need the block decked and also deffering ammounts. Any final word on this?
Will I have any problems with the stock ignition system (no distributor, etc)? Is there any tthing I can do to help this outwith out spending a ton of money?
Will I have problems with my XJ motor mounts and oil filter?
What accesories should I use? What year did the water pump rotation switch? I would prefer to use my 2000 XJ water pump as it is fairly new. What about alternator, Power steering pump and brackets. The 2000 motor had a (dead) AC pump on it that I wouldn't mind getting rid of.
I would also like to pick up a header to use. Is anything off of eBay worth using? I would prefer to keep the header under $200. I also realize that I will need to get a new down pipe and possibly new exhaust bent up.
Are there any other huge issues that I will run into in terms if sensors or things matching up?
I am mainly worried about the ignition/coil rail set up working properly. Thanks for any help I can get.
