Outlaw, I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Explain to me again how you're going to get nearly 200 hp out of an engine that is listed at 135?

This is essentially what you're doing, right? Lots of research in this one:

Are you going Multi-port or TBI? I want more details and am too lazy to find your post where I'm pretty sure you described it to me a few months ago...

I'm using the older 170hp Mercruiser 4cyl (Chevy/AMC/OMC design) with the cyl head from my 2.5L. So I started with a higher RPM/powered block than stock.

Gotcha. So, it's a "hybrid". What's the compression ratio? Surely, you'll have to run an higher octane rating right? Please video the exhaust sound when you get it running. I bet it sounds wicked.

A holes. My parents battled them for 5 years over one accounting error. Had to get a state congressman to step and tell the IRS to leave them alone.

I had the first one running he a till a failure occurred. At idle, sounds like a V6 at higher RPMs it sounded like a Rally motor. (It is a 4cyl after all.) Compression ratio is 10.2:1. Higher octane is only required in two instances, High Compression and High RPMs. I use no less than 89 octane.

Got a new DD so I can take my time on the Jeep.

Atleast it's AWD/4WD so i can come play if it's nothing crazy til I get the engine swapped in this jeep. Now I feel like an LSx swap is in order.

What I like to do is lift the rear completely, take both wheels off, take both drums off and leave one side untouched...
So when your working on the other side and forget what goes where all you have to do is swing to the other side and guide yourself...

Haha! By hillbilly, do you mean Matt from Bleepin Jeep? He lives in East TN where I'm from. I think I watched his video a dozen times the first time I rebuild my drums.
