Trying to bring this community back... Just finished an engine swap on my Cherokee. Did the rebuild myself -- did a 4.6L stroker with an aluminum head. About 120 miles into the break in process.
Noice. I recognized that engine from the thumbnail while scrolling! I’ve had 3 XJs and always wanted to do a stroker build! My last one (a ‘99 Limited) got swapped for an XK with a Hemi so that saited the urge for a while….i havent had a Jeep for quite a few years now ‘cause that XK and me had a really bad breakup over too many crappy Chrysler electrical issues…..and covid really spiked the price of older Jeeps. They seem to be coming back down down, but too many projects, not enough time or space…
