1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project

I built a 4.6 stroker Jeep engine based on the 4.0 block and older AMC 258 crank. When you deviate from stock, you run into issues. I found this out with my build. Some custom stuff just doesn't work right the first time. Gotta identify the issue before you can make corrections. Just know, the pioneering efforts you're makng will become "stickies" on the sight later. Awesome work.

Cool Stuff. Thanks for the kind words.
I have an XJ, it is all stock and I don't care to mess with it much, as I prefer to tinker with my old mopars.
It looks like you have a maybe a ZJ there? The under hood stuff looks much different than mine.
 
12/29/24:

I completed a bunch of metalwork today.

The pan got its little repairs:


Reinstalled the metal windage screen and red loctited the small button head screws that keep it in place.
Fingers crossed as I put ~15,000 Miles on this first configuration of the pan and the screws were still tight and loctited in place when I removed them a few weeks ago for cleaning etc.


Fresh Paint looks good in pictures.


I placed some cut lines on the VC for future surgery and #6 cylinder bump.


I have probably spent 10 hours on this little part so far. It sure does not look like much, but a lot of little cuts, little hits of the MIG, grinding, finishing, and dolly work take time to complete. I want the finished product to look like it was factory-made that way.


I can soon clean up the rear main seal retainer on the engine and install the oil pan, oil pump, and distributor.

Yes, '95 Grand Cherokee. It's my daily (and only) driver.
