I think an old CJ with a 4.0 would be sweet. That motor seems like it's perfect for that platform.
If you are building it, a 4.0 Stroker would be very hard not do. :tup:

I think an old CJ with a 4.0 would be sweet. That motor seems like it's perfect for that platform.It really is a great set up,i loved the 4.0 it will be sent in and bored out rebuild it at a later date.lots of torque easy on fuel not enough to really break parts but climbs like a goat with low rpm.It was tired very tired,might have been producing around 40 to 50 hp when i pulled it.I started having to put it in 2nd gear to pull some of the grades around here on the main roads.I always wanted to try the v8 thing so i went full jeep to try it out see if i like it but can still just swap it back out just change exhaust. :tup:

I just finished building a 5.0 and those bearings would add to the pucker factor when breaking in the cam. It was a long 20 minutes.
Let’s have some pictures so we can follow your build.

No tabs on the bearings is just flat out scary. I would make sure your clearances are good, double the assembly lube, and prime the oil pump just before start up. Clevite is a good brand but I personally would return them and get tabbed bearings.

I haven't built a motor since high school, but that 20 minutes can be a real nail biter.

Yes it can.More so when building race car engines with a lot invested. :tup:
Or being a broke teenager who put every last dime into an engine. :chuckle:
But that's what roller cams are for!

DOWN TO HEADS AND INTAKE.
That oil pan was the dirtiest pan i ever had to clean,the engine it came off must have taken out all the bearings.It had what i can only describe as lapping compound mixed with oil completely. :chuckle: :chuckle: took hours in the parts cleaner to get the caked on compound all cleaned out. :tup:
