My first jeep 1993 YJ 2.5 5 speed, it has a super winch lift etc. LOL i have already bought another jeep 1994 YJ with the 4.0 high output engine also 5 speed. The newer jeep will be a ground up rebuild. What is everyone's thoughts on stroker engine?

Arrrgggg....Wish i could swing another one myself. Nice rig. HO 4.0's ha...what would I know, mines a LO 2.5. ;) Like the fender flares you have. My new wheels stick out to far for the factory flares and I get covered in everything on the ground if its muddy,wet or snowy.

The sound of a stroker motor is beautiful. I hope to add it to my stress relief playlist. From what I read it seems to be the best value for your buck to get more power vs doing a v8. I did read a couple of things about a stroker not making it to 200,000 miles though, not sure if that is a fact. You will be spending alot more money in gas, because who is not going to have a heavy foot in a stroker?

If I had to rebuild mine, I would stick with the 4.0, that is enough power for me for my plans for it.

been doing some research and most guys who have strokers claim better fuel economy!
