Good to see a Power Nation fan. Those shows are filmed down the road from me. Product placement has gotten a bit out of hand, but I still watch. Big fan of Tommy and Detroit Muscle.
OP
He puts together some awesome cars for those motors to go in. The supercharged junkyard 6.4l hemi build was awesome.in a roadrunner right?
I liked the turbo 300 six in the ford flatbed too(not tommy)
That shows back date the engine will work.
A 258 12 weight crank with flat top pistons to bump the CR, Port match both manifolds.
I am not a fan of roller rockers as they add one more thing to break.
One thing about flat tappet cams I have done over the years is install used spring that are not stiff and run the engine for about 20 minutes at 1200 rpm.
Also when starting up a rebuild engine use 30 wt non detergent oil to keep the assemble lube in place.
Now hook that carbed engine up to a 700r4 and put that in a TJ she will run forever.
stock 258
Horsepower 170 hp (127 kW; 172 PS) at 4600 rpm
Torque 240 lb⋅ft (325 N⋅m) at 2300 rpm
There build
Horsepower 243 @ 5000
Torque 286 @ 3700 rpm
Low end grunt the stock 258 is a stump puller.

Yep. That scenario (no accessories and lots of spark advance will bump the HP on an engine dyno). My Golen 4.6L (280 c.i.d) made over 280HP on an engine dyno too. Real world numbers on a chassis dyno are significantly less though. I imagine the stock motor would also show better numbers in that situation.
I just want to do long smokey burnout on the way to work.
My favorite Tommy build was the black ‘68 Charger restomod with the Hellcat Hemi. Sold a Mecum for 200 grand.
LS or hemi then. Actually, I like the coyote in my mustang even better, but its WIDE and is a tight fit in a TJ. Here's one in a YJ (I've seen a TJ with one somewhere...)
Still waiting for someone to put that I4 half of an LS engine in a TJ.

Who needs a radiator?
Had not thought about the procharger when I selected that pic.
Half an LS? how about half a 460 Ford.
They can be stoked to 253 CI.
How about a 230ci 4 cylinder?
