Title: i wonder
Post by: Bubba on June 25, 2007, 10:04:31 PM

is there a v8 tj in the uk just wondering as there is a fair few bits you can fit to wring a bit more power out of the four litre from plugs air filters coils throttle spacers  and manifolds then at the deep end you got stroker kits and super chargers it would be nice to see how that stacked up against a tj with a late model chevy vortech v8 and how cost efective both routes would be

Theres at least one in the UK, defo! Whoose and where it is no ideas? As there was an engine & gbox for sale from a W-reg a while back that had been converted to V8 power.  
Interesting to know; Anyone seen one?

i wouldnt think so its great to wring ever more useable power out of a unit but wouldnt a modded tj with a vortec be sweeet and with tj prices coming down
