Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

I've wanted to build a boosted 4.0 for a long time. If is far superior in strenght to the slant. It has 7 main bearings. In the 60's Barney Navaro turbocharged a 200 inch amc 6 to over 600 hp. I've seen a jeep build up to a turbo stroker 6 make 700 hp. ( the limiting factor to it was the jeep efi.) Going to a tunable system would have allowed it to make more power. I have a lot of respect for both engines. Even though I'm building a "big" v8 for my valiant.

That's awesome, they definitely had a great engine there. I feel the same way that's kind of why I'm not a huge slant fan. Owning a Jeep 4.0L it's just superior in almost every way except size and maybe weight...? A boosted 4.0L would be really scary in a 4x4 XJ Cherokee though it doesn't like going much past 90 lol. Enter A-body or AMC Rambler build....
