I kinda got a little side tracked in 2018, and stepped away from Drag Racing my Pontiac. My race car hasn’t left the trailer, nor the engine run since, but I am slowly finding my way back into racing my Pontiac. I bought a 1985 CJ-7 In 2019 because I had bought a new one in 1986, and decided I wanted another one. They ride like a little tank, are very basic 4x4 machines, but they are fun to drive. That’s when I decided to build the little 4.7 stroker motor for it. Like Mike said, It’s easy to build a stroker. Mopar didn’t change the inline six much when they bought the AMC Jeep line in 1987, They increased the bore, decreased the stroke, added MPFI and continued manufacturing them for about 15 years, so there are tons of them to be found. If you put a 258 crank in a .060 over 4.0, you end up with a 4.7, like mine.

That color is AMC blue, almost as pretty as Pontiac blue.

Thanks John, I learn a little more each time I port heads, or “a head” in this case.

Sorry for sidetracking your thread, Poncho4554spd, But you can achieve the same results with a little effort, and Jim’s book. If you need any help PM me. You should be able to build a 500+ HP 461 with 6X heads, with tons of torque.
