Heads/Cam 5.2 ZJ - 18” All Black Deep Dish Cobra Rims With Cut H&R Lowering Springs

[@stevenbouey6589]

I purchased a 98 Cherokee limited 5.2 v8 almost a year ago & it’s in great shape! Your videos gave me a TON of motion to put more cash into & care! I’ll upload videos soon! Blessings to you & yours! Checking in from Memphis,Tn (38118)

[@Freezza101]

Yeah, that’s super clean! Love the videos man, and both your rigs. I really like the stance and the two fingers upfront// three in the rear - plus she sounds great too!

[@98ZJ318]

Thank you brother, really appreciate that. Finally got the stance correct and couldn't be happier with the Jeep.

[@MacGregor.]

Nice! ZJ.,Don't think i seen this video. Seen some of your stuff years ago.. Got my zj 318 in the garage on stands. Southern wagon brought back to Detroit 5 years ago..Everything replaced. Looking at poke and stroke the motor or a conservative performance motor..local..

Don’t normally like all black but it looks great…

Awesome car

Blacked out is awesome. Mine is stock white.97

30 years later, I still dont understand how they stuffed 2 different v8's in these old grand cherokees. There's barely any room! My little brother has the 4.0L, straight six, still daily drives it in rust belt Toronto, and I thought that thing was nearly impossible to work on because it's a tight fit. Couldn't imagine the v8's I have the same 5.2 in a 2001 mexican ramcharger, and I can legit jump in the engine bay, there is so much room.

[@98ZJ318]

Considering that the 5.2 and the 5.9 are the same exterior dimensions, there is just enough room to fit either V8 into the ZJ but it is fairly tight in there with little to no room between the front accessories and the fan/radiator. In the Durango and the Ram there is plenty of space between the front accessories and fan/radiator. The hood and front fenders are longer on the Dodge trucks than the ZJ.

The idle is absolutely sick... I'm sure you have posted this already what heads are they?

[@98ZJ318]

Thank you brother. The heads are RHS Indy X non-ported iron 2.02" Intake/1.62" Exhaust with stiffer valve springs. The heads came fully assembled with valves, valve springs, and retainers. They were $1200 but that was back in 2012 so i'm pretty sure they cost more now.

Thank you brother

Your videos are very nice friend, I have a machine like that too =) a hug from Brazil.

[@98ZJ318]

Thank you brother. ZJs are amazing vehicles, I've had my 5.2 since 2007 and my 5.9 since 2013. Both were fully stock when i got them, now they are both modified. I never get bored of either Jeep. They look good, sound good, not too heavy, very quick, and built to last.

[@FranciscoMartinez-ww2gr]

What stage is that

[@stevenpearce1031]

Did you have to change out shocks? What did you use?

[@98ZJ318]

I didn't have to change the shocks but it is recommended, they were changed a long time ago before the springs were cut. The shocks are Bilstein 4600 series.

[@_starixx1]

I wonder how you did that idle its like a drag old v8

[@98ZJ318]

The idle is set at 650 rpm which gives it that choppy sound.

[@_starixx1]

[@brandondavenport5648]

Did have to have any wheel spacers for the back spacing on calipers?

[@98ZJ318]

No wheel spacers were needed

What cam are you running in her?

[@vairiankingkade6120]

What is thing on your exhaust? Is that an electric servo ?

[@98ZJ318]

That is a 3 inch electric cutout to make the exhaust dump after the headers and Y-Pipe rather than out of the tailpipe.

[@MiguelGarcia-sr3su]

How many inches did you cut off the springs?

[@98ZJ318]

1 coil was removed
