There's a thread over on hybridz.org about the 4.0 Jeeps 6's. They're tall engines and people have had trouble with the oil pan being too low. A simple search over there should bring up a few threads.

You can build a stoker motor by using the rotating assembly out of an older jeep 6 CYL and running the newer 4.0 head and EFI stuff on it... theyre friggin torque monsters.

 

Why dont you just sell/trade the jeep motor for an L28 or RB20 or something?

[82sunny]

shoot! how much do people buy them for?

[raggmann]

Is it a 4.0L or a 258cid?

Toi build a 4.6L stroker you basically use the 258 crank in the 4.0L

There's a lot more to it than that but those are the basics.

 

That's my plan for my '61 FC170 once I get to it.

Once upon a time in Japan they built an L35 engine. Monster of an engine.

what?! did they just bore out am L28?

[datzenmike]

If they did that the pistons would overlap.

oh wow i feel stupid...its a chevy?

nissan P40 Gasoline powered, 3956 cc inline six-cylinder with 145 hp (108 kW). got one in my Patrol... torque monster totally unsuitable for a car, but a great motor nonetheless

ive searched all over and cant find pics of someone doing this swap. does noone do it? is it a waste of time? any pics also

[justin 620]

If no one's done it, why not be the first? Think of it this way, if you try, and fail, you still have the original motor for the car, and just put it back in...

Took 2 seconds to search on hybrid....

Nope it was an O.S.Giken built engine. either a welded up LD28 crank or more likely one of the custom cranks that are made over in Japan. I have seen L28's up to 91.5mm bore but that is about as far as one can take a GOOD sonic-tested core-shift free L28 block.

Look around on Hybrid and you will see mention of it a couple times.
