4.6 I-6 stroker motor
Anybody build one of these or know of someone who has? I am trying to figure out what all is needed. Here are a few items I know that I need.
4.2 crank new rods new pistons bore out of 4.0 block 20% larger injectors head work computer upgrades? I have a 1995 wrangler 6 cyl. with low oil pressure and need to do a repair and figured to maybe build another motor while I nurse the one currently in the jeep through winter. I need to find a similar motor to build from 1993 to 1995 I think? Some companies want no less than 1350.00 for the crank, pistons, rods and gaskets! Gotta be a cheaper route. I plan on porting the head at work and need to find out about building it also. Thanks for any input!

Had it making some rattles recently and put a mechanical guage on it and get not so good readings when warmed up also. No rush to replace it until further signs but want a backup ready! Can't handle downtime from wheelin!

I want to keep appraised of this situation and help you if I can.
I have a spare motor but it is a '92. I have searched this before and the most info has been on a page from the middle east sandbox. EDIT: Just found this http://www.ajeepthing.com/stroker-motor.html

Titan engines makes a stroker kit complete with block and head for $2,200.00. Some kits that include rotating assy. want 1400.00 for just that! Can't see putting alot of $ in this. Checking on supercharging a stock 4.0 also.
