Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda
So some background on the engine....
Its my mock motor for the time being. Its a running engine from a 1988 Cherokee which makes it a Renix era engine. The block and head are more or less the same and can run with the new fuel management with out issue. What does make this block special, in the early 4.0's additional ribbing was added in the crank case which as been said to make them better candidates for stroker builds.
That said, this block is my first choice for building. I do have another 1988 block in storage as well. While building what ever I end up building, I will pick up another running engine to take the place.
