Is it mandrel bent though?

Grow a pair, wouldya? You have no knowledge of the real world engine stuff. Only a ONE THOUSANDTH measurement difference you read on the interwebs. Have you ever held a set of calipers in your hand? How thick is a human hair in thousandths?

Ever take three 4.0s and make them into one? I have. Ever built a Jeep 4.6 stroker? I have. Ever put an HO motor into a Renix after match porting the head and manifolds? I have.

Datsun 3.0 stroker motor? I have. Alfa Romeo 2000 cc motor? I have.
VW 1641 motor? I have. Jeep 401 V8? I have.
Where to start. How about with how many times does it take for someone to hear they are correct before they stop beating a dead horse? For the 3rd time, you are correct.

My toys are still in the sand box if you would like to play with them.

Here is a gif for you just in case you feel the need to make the point you are correct.... again.

BTW I have never built a stroker but I have build a 4.0 and an MG 1600cc. So, not a total nube on the subject but obviously I'm not near the expert you are and that is not sarcasm, I am being serious.

Give the Kid a ****ing break already. Drop the damn subject now.

He admitted Cruiser's superior experience and withdrew his argument. Yes it sounded sarcastic. Was it? I don't ****ing care.

Move on. This is a tech section.

Yes. It's a Chrysler ****box.

Do they have TV cables? TPS stuff applies to much all of the Jeep family for a decade and a half.

OFA delete?

Only thing that's going to fit there is the stock miniscule one.
