First stroker build

Post by CDyreng »

Hello I am new to this forumn. I’ve always wanted a jeep stroker and I’m getting close to finally getting to do one. I’m new to building motors. I’m honestly not very knowledgeable about this stuff but I have plenty of people around willing to help me through the work. But I want to learn how to do it on my own. I’m overhauling a 4.0 right now( first time tearing apart a motor). As soon as I’m done with that one I have another 4.0 in my 99 wrangler I plan on doing a stoker kit in. I don’t completely understand the quench gaps or know how high of a compression ratio I want to run. I’m looking for advice on what I should buy for doing this whole thing. For context I live at an elevation of about 5200 feet. Most of my driving will be a this elevation. I will do a decent amount of wheeling up to 10100 feet of elevation. But majority highway driving and around my area. My job involves a lot of driving on canal dirt roads all day. I live in Utah about an hour away from cleggs so I’ve been eyeing down their stage 2 stroker kit to go along with their stage 1.5 cam. I don’t know if this is the right combination for what I’m doing. I’m open to anything. If that can is pretty aggressive I can go lower but I don’t know how to figure out what can I want. I’m open to going more aggressive if it can last a while. I just want a motor that can be reliable and last 50k more miles would be awesome if not more. The jeep currently has 197k miles. If the 9.3 compression ratio means I give up a lot of reliability then I don’t have to run that high. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I see Russ on here has his own products and I am completely open do buying whatever everyone recommends. Thank you in advance
