After I threw a rod back in Sept 06 I spent alot of time shoping for the best deal on a motor. After finding out no engine is cheap and reading several threads on I decided on stroking the 4.0 I6 and hoped it would be worth the extra cost. Finnaly I was able to drop her off on Feb 1st and got to pick up my 00 XJ From Western Engine in Westminster, Colorado yesterday and holly crap am I excited. They built me a 4.7 and she sounds and runs like a dream. I also decided to do the exhaust while it was torn appart and did a Banks headder and down pipe new stock cat, however for some reason they did not replace the muffler wich has a hole in it. What muffler should I do? also I did not do the intake yet, it has a cut stock air box with a K&N fiter now sound goood and breaths better but I want a little more, what intake do you reccomend? I kinda want to do an arb snorkel kit, but a few people have told me they can rob me of hp, is that true? I Need to break it in a little before I can really start to open it up, but I can feel the differance imediatly when I push the peddle, and from what I have gathered from other stroker owners it just keeps getin sweeter and sweeter the more miles I put on it. There are a few other XJ stroker owners in here, what accy's are you runnin and what do you reccomend for me? I'll post some pics tomorow, although it does look the same only new and shiney!
