So I have a 258 in the garage from an '86 CJ that I swapped for, then the guy backed out and never came and picked it up. It's been almost 4 years and I'm pretty sure he moved to Cali.
And I have the 4.0 short block from the '91, my first jeep, that I killed the bearings in with muddy water from a giant puddle. I tried putting main and rod bearings in it, but I replaced it because the oil pressure was zero and it had piston slap from the rings getting wiped.
How do I take those two items and make a stroker short block I can put my current 4.0 head and '99 intake/exhaust manifold on?
I'm leaning more towards reliable than I am all out performance. I don't want to break te bank, but if it makes good sense, I'll spend the money on it. My veterans bonus check is $1500, I want to see what we can come up with.
