So the engine light came on, and with a quick scan at orielies, my #3 has a misfire and it has a small ticking noise. I changed the plugs and coil rail without fixing it, so I’m guessing something mechanical. I’m taking it to the shop to have it diagnosed, but it has 193k on the dial, and I don’t want to do any type of internal work with the high miles unless it’s just something simple in the valve train. So I’m thinking about the 4.7 stroker if I have to replace the motor. It's probably 80/20 street to trail, and it's Florida flat land sand and swamps type trails.
My jeep is a 04 4.0L with a ax15 swapped with 30/35 locked rear and maybe 4:11 gears? I can still use 5th gear with 31-10.50s. So I guess my question is there anyone else running a stroker motor? is it still street able with the added torque? and mostly is it worth the almost double the cost of a stock 4.0 long block?
