How to Take The Ol' Wrangler TJ & LJ Up a Notch - Stroker Engine

[@toughtimes721]

I'm going the Toyota 1uz into my TJ.

[@EnfieldJoe]

I have a 2006 Jeep Unlimited and considering an engine swap. Looked at LS, Hemi, and Newcomer Racing engines (stroker I6). Thanks for sharing because now I can consider a Golen I6.

[@isaacwilliamson759]

My 4.0 in my 05 LJ has 130k miles on it. Is it to high mileage to just buy a Stroker kit and have someone instal it or would it be more cost efficient to just buy a motor and sell my old one? Nothings wrong with it it just had the rear main seal replaced other than that it’s been a dean.

[@texasmade9562]

Building my first TJ ! I will be bringing it in so you guys can help me see what she needs! Love the videos!

[@gogerwi]

Great inspiration Bubba because I have a Golan 4.6 sitting in the crate in my shop for my 06 LJ Rubicon. When it gets a little cooler I make the switch.

[@Exodus4x4]

You’ll love it! Sure makes me want to ditch my JK and build a TJ with one of these engines

[@gogerwi]

According to Chad Golan, works with stock computer. They suggest 62mm throttle body (I have) and good gas. Should be plug and play.

[@juanquintero1866]

All that $ & the computer takes a sh** & makes the trans go in to limp mode

[@gavincw]

@@juanquintero1866 if ur smart and have it tuned after fully installed ur computer shouldn’t cause a problem lol

[@joerouth6255]

The only issue with stroker motors for tj/ljs is the tranny options. There needs to be at least a five speed auto or 8 would be outstanding.

[@MeatPez]

There would be more if the demand that kind of thing wasn’t near zero. Almost everyone wants a manual in their stroker since stroker motors are for off-roading, which means a manual trans is simply the most optimal choice. An automatic option for the few would be nice though.

[@MeatPez]

@shoom-b2h honestly yeah. The only reason a 5 would be even considered better is if you’re running insane power

[@05collins]

Customer: what happened to my tires?

[@brisonpalmer6730]

Now we’re talkin Bubba👊

[@LJLiving-ql1bk]

What’s the install charge!

[@Soothsayer-rs5nb]

All that horsepower from a V-8 swap will just snap your axles.... that's why the 4.7L stroker makes sense !

[@Galarid87]

Nice video. If you build it yourself you can save a hell of a lot more. Built my 4.9 stroker right under a grand

[@vee950]

Yeah those Golen engines are a complete ripp off

[@nathenperri2826]

Damn, a 4.9! What does the power of that thing feel like? I just bought a Tj and I am already wanting more power. I have built a 302 ranger and ford 2.3T Miata, the TJ is next; I do have an old 351 Windsor without a home.

[@bdd1469]

I'm building my 6th or 7th inline stroker right now. I'm curious how you built a 4.9 for under a grand.

[@mikehoffman3690]

Great install.

[@Ghost-oq4qj]

That was so damn impressive

[@Mike_E_44]

What is a good swap from a 2.5 TJ? I bought one that I really like and made it nice but now I want to think about axles and engine swap. I was thinking about the R2.8 Cummins. Is there an engine that I would be able to use my transmission with that is not a 4 cyl?

[@Exodus4x4]

There are a few options. Try giving Novak a call and they can talk you through them.

[@Mark622111]

Building my 4.7 to swap out with my 4.0 in 97 Jeep Wrangler. Not really looking to burn rubber as it's a daily driver. I struggled on the freeway with 35" tires and 4.0 until I upgraded the gearing in my 30 & 35 Dana axles. Now I have good acceleration and pedal response but still hits its sweet spot on the freeway at 2,800 rpm @ 70 mph. My question is, will my sweet spot freeway speed bump up once I drop in the 4.7, and what can I expect pulling away from red lights? Not much out there on 4.7 vs 4.0 driving habit once dropped in.

[@Exodus4x4]

Should be better with the 4.7

[@edlozano8694]

Could the 4.7 Stroker damage the automatic transmission on a 2001 TJ due to the horsepower and low gears?

[@SLICKW1993]

Have you seen the Mopar crate inline? I was thinking of going this route with my LJ, can’t beat the torque of the inline! I think I’d have to add a turbo LOL

[@barryismygod]

Put the stock valve cover on .. and It would look like nothing was done just a stock 4.0 with a header

[@abdulazizal-gzhuly2001]

How match angen 4.6 also how match hours

[@CrazySquirrel98]

How's that mpg

[@Thexkidd]

Want that lj.

[@randythompson1957]

Have you had any experience with the Newcomer engine from North Carolina?

[@Exodus4x4]

Nopw

[@pra3t0rian]

You guys gonna dyno it after the install?

[@mikeandshelliesoverlanding]

What’s the cost of just a hemi motor swap

[@michaelmateo6641]

Exodus 4x4 - When you did the swap. Did you encounter any Engine codes after the swap? I did swap mine and I'm running rich from 4.6L from Golen Engine? Let me know Man! Still figuring this thing out, did you tune them or just running on stock tune?

[@Exodus4x4]

Stock tune, never had any lights come on after the swaps.

[@michaelmateo6641]

@@Exodus4x4 Thanks for quick response. I have to contact Golen to see if he can send me a set of new injectors, thanks again!

[@bradleyburton5034]

Any adaption issues, if the old engine had the 2.5L?

[@Exodus4x4]

You’ll need a core and all the accessories, as well as intake.

[@raptorrungreece]

Whats the size of the tire? 33 or 35?

[@Exodus4x4]

35”

[@nate4036]

The plywood pallet is worth more than the engine these days.

[@Exodus4x4]

Awwweee, come on man! They were good engines during their days. Technology will usually build something better.

[@nate4036]

@@Exodus4x4 oh I’m a huge fan of 4.0s mines a Kenne Bell 4.6. But price of plywood these days..... lol

[@Exodus4x4]

Lol so true

[@taraaaron1242]

I love me some more power

[@mattwilliams8144]

nice

[@cpefy3]

Those need 93+ octane right?

[@Chasitek]

Yes

[@johnq.customer8027]

Wish I still had my TJ. Anything similar available (power and cost wise) for the JK?

[@robertrussell1189]

What axle gearing was in this LJ?

[@Exodus4x4]

4.88

[@Exodus4x4]

4.88

[@justjames78]

I think it needs a new home. 🤚

[@jeanpierrefigueroa6254]

Nice 💪🇵🇷💯

[@thecustommuffler]

4:88`s and 35`s on wet asphalt/pebbles,,,,lmmfao

[@renegade4wd12]

Epic, £¥€%ing epic.

[@joshnasche5495]

Will that work for a YJ wangler as well? That engine? I definitely want to get rid of my 4 cylinder engine.

[@Exodus4x4]

I think so but you should call Golen to confirm

[@joshnasche5495]

They got a website? And yall are in Texas correct?

[@joshnasche5495]

@@Future-Preps35 I'm in Texas and yea I looked at the website as well. Just ready to get rid of the 4 cylinder I got. So underpowered it's not even funny.

What year yj do you have

[@ScramblerGuy]

Glad that is not my Jeep!

[@blueweb00]

That Jeep has the 4 speed automatic

[@jeeprenegade1985]

I think this engine used to be $3500.

[@richsmith3120]

1st.

[@vee950]

Sotty dude not cost effective at all and I guess they didn't want a core they charge nearly 7k for the motor complete ripp off

[@timh1187]

Lol we are swapping out junk for more junk. Woot woot. Hahahahaha

[@danielnelson9373]

Youd be missing teeth if you burned up my $500 a piece tires.

[@Exodus4x4]

Oh ok, calm down. The owner gave us permission to do it tough guy.

[@SS-gu6hs]

Golen puts out an overpriced motor, not worth it. Go with an S and J for half the price.

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

If you t ested my jeep like that, we would have a discussion.

[@Exodus4x4]

The owner told us too. Lighten up

[@esti5506]

This isnt an LJ. Its a TJ

[@Exodus4x4]

Are you high?

[@esti5506]

Yea, 6,700 ft., how’d u know?

[@Exodus4x4]

Lol, it’s definitely a LJ.

Youre not being serious right?

Bahahaha I don't know how to spot an LJ ... 🤣🤣🤣😍
