Dave1647545494 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 some of you were asking questions the other day the show might offer some insight on parts and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think you can follow the series online they stroked a 4.0 out to a 4.6 the finished product and the tune should be next weekend around noon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I TiVo'ed the show, and while $2100 could buy you a decent SBC I'll be curious what sort of numbers the Jeep 4.6 puts out... Good episode, BTW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattvr4 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have gotten I ride in a stroked and cammed 4.6 jeep on 35s, it spun through 3rd in fwd. Awesome build, I don't remember what numbers it put down though, I will try to find out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I caught part of this on Saturday. I hope to catch it next week to see how it does. I would love to do this project on the 4.0L in my Grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOPR Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i love how they spent 2 grand on stroking this thing just to keep the stock intake manifold, throttle body, and exhaust manifold. what a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i love how they spent 2 grand on stroking this thing just to keep the stock intake manifold, throttle body, and exhaust manifold. what a waste. You know they're going to upgrade later. They were keeping that stuff to hold the bill down. What's laughable amongst the budget projects on any of the Powerblock shows is that they end up either: 1) getting freebies that most people would never get, or... 2) they blow the budget out of the water, showing an awesome completed project and add the disclaimer "while WE ended up going over our budget, look at the great ride you can have in the end!" Can't eat cake you can't afford to buy. Still like the shows, though! Only real beef I have is that my TiVo is only programmed to record "first-run" shows, so sometimes I'll go through months before I see a new show...like "Horsepower" was down almost the entire winter, so I had to watch "Musclecar" (which is my least favorite show; bunch of customization techniques I'll probably never use.)

Rally Pat Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 MuscleCar wasn't worth watching after Lou left. I felt the same way after Stacey David left to go do Gears after Trucks!, but I warmed up to the new guys eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuscleCar wasn't worth watching after Lou left. i agree completely. why did he leave anyway? he was extremely talented, entertaining, and he knew his shit.

Skinner Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i love how they spent 2 grand on stroking this thing just to keep the stock intake manifold, throttle body, and exhaust manifold. what a waste. Well they don't make any aftermarket intake mainfolds that I have seen. Secondly the stock exhaust is a 3-2-1 manifold from the factory which does pretty damn well compared to the $600 dollar after market options. as for the TB that the should have gone to at least a 60mm.

Rally Pat Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i agree completely. why did he leave anyway? he was extremely talented, entertaining, and he knew his shit. Hes still doing hot rodding. About a year ago, he was posting on some forum that I somehow came across where he was posting logs of a project he was working on. I cant remember where it was though.
