so we dont hi jack his thread any longer... 
its been bored 0.030 Over
3A valve Job
full length header
full 2.5" exhaust w/ magnaflow muffler
hesco TBS
home made intake w/ cone type filter
next on the obtainable list:
Ford Design III, 24LBS injectors from a 4.6l Mustang cobra
and a Performance Distributors: Firewire Ignition system
i ran out of money and patience, i wanted to:
deck the head 0.060
run Chevy 1.94" intake valves
and a clifford cam, valve springs
right now it should be pushing 120-130hp at the flywheel
i was hoping to hit the 200hp mark, naturally aspirated.

Whoah, how did you use those Mustang injectors? Do you have a picture of the Jeep this thing belongs to?
Sounds like a real nice build. How much power does that little booger push out from the factory? 130 horse sounds kind of low for a built I4.
You could have just sent me a PM btw! lol

All I can is, I want that Jeep. Looks like a lot of fun, that's the kind of stuff I love to do!
I like the idea of building a four banger but have you thought about swapping it for another motor? A V6 would be compact and keep the weight down, and give you an easy 170 horse and 250 foot pounds. You could even build it for more power.

if (read when) i blow this motor up, i'll be looking for a 5.3l, L33...sorry guys i know that's saacriligious around these parts....
L33 is aluminum block / heads, makes 300-320HP, and weighs 100lbs less then a 4.3l V-6
as for wheelin' the four make plenty of power, i also tend to keep it high in the rpm range. Factory red line is 5200, factory peak HP is rated at 5250, rev limiter hits @ 6000 RPM.
I've spent the last 6 years or so bouncing the factory motor off the rev limiter, i'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

The 5.3L is a good idea in my book. I didn't realize it was so light though, jeez.

i thought about a 4.6; moduler, the only problem is they are so wide i dont think it would fit

That, and the larger V8 willl produce much better torque; and that's what you need for off roading.
I think a 4-BT Cummins would be a cool idea too. It would be different but match the personality of the Jeep!

What are your gear ratios now? Looks like a six inch lift would do you wonders!
That's why I suggested the 4-BT, but it's probably not much lighter than the 5.3L and you get a lot more horse with the V8.
Loved the video. You have any more off roading vids?

actually i will be running 35" tires instead of the 33's
and dropping down to 2.5" springs and a 1-1.25" body lift...
so going up a tire size and lowering it about 1.5-2", from where its at now
