Pray for me!
After rebuilding and tunning an entire 4.0L, I think I'm prepared to do an stroker. I was looking for a LS1, but after all I'll stay for a more factory look.
But I have some problems here to do all this work, with supplies and machining shops, so I need advice to be really sure which parts I need first.
A good friend of mine offered me a 4.0L bigblock even with the auto tranny, so now I don't have any excuse to start the stroker. Even so when I opened the engine it was all made a crap. It had been run without coolant and there was something like petrol (someday oil) covering all the head. I have to discard all the moving parts, due the lack of oil while working, and severely reground the cylinders.
Now block and head are being tested, but the first impressions are good
So I'll go for a +4.7L medium-buck stroker with one or two options.
Cylinder rebore to 0,060"
Sealed Power 677P pistons
4.2 rods
4.2 crankchaft
How do you call the "lifter sticks"? They must also be from 4.2?
The head will be milled to 0,010"
The block 0,020"
Mopar Performance #4529242 head gasket.
New Lifters
New camshaft, the stock is in a very bad condition, but i don't know what I must buy.
Cloyes dual roller timing set CLO-9-3127
New springs (any suggestion?)
Roller rockers (any suggestion?)
Melling high volume oil pump
Are all this goodies compatible or it will bang on the first crank?
I'm trying to make something on the chevy v8 power step (250-300HP), wanna go over 4,7L but don't like custom pistons or so. And I don't think my machining shop would be capable of doing an offset reground of the crankshaft :sure: however what are the directions/parts related for doing it? (meaning bearings and so, not powertools)
As the crankshaft concerns, I'm looking for a 12 counterweights one as I like rockcrawling, but I will be mated with an AW4
Its compatible?
Someone has the email of Atlanta Crankshaft Exchange? I can't express myself in english enough good to talk directly via phone. :helpme:
I want a torquer but with a good distribution over the revs, something from 1500-4000,
What camshaft I must use, in conjunction with the 12cw Crank? And with the 4cw one?
I'll post some pictures of the big and black crap, if you like the gore :laugh3:
PD: There's any trick to change the username to something more appropiate while not loosing all the posts and data?
THANKS ALOT!
