    Machine Shop to rebuild a '96 Jeep 4.0L

    Sounds like a good plan. My brother had a GM 10 bolt behind a SBC 400 and a turbo350 in a Malibu wagon he had, it held up well, motor blew before the rear end did, and that car had a lot of weight to launch with :P

    Machine Shop to rebuild a '96 Jeep 4.0L

    I have the 904, a TCI full manual valve body for it that needs to be installed, ordered a Hurst V-Matic 2 floor shifter for it because I think Hurst shifters are badass and it will fit in the black center console from a Hornet that I got for it :P and I'll probably get a 2500 stall torque...

    Machine Shop to rebuild a '96 Jeep 4.0L

    I have a '96 4.0L, the shortblock needs a rebuild, I have a rebuilt head for it already. Looking for a machine shop in the area (I live in the SW 'burbs) to drop it off at for tear down, cleaning, machine work, and then longblock assembly. So far I've only been pointed to shops that only do...
