Re: Stroker six in American/Classic

[farna@xxxxxxx]

what I meant was the Classic wagon performed about the same as my Cherokee when both had the 4.0L. I think the Classic did slightly better. It performs noticeably better with the 4.6L. Your American has nearly a 1,000 pound weight advantage to the Classic wagon (3700#, IIRC, American should be 2600-2800#), so it darned well better outperform my Classic with roughly the same powerplant! ;>

Frank,
   You wagon runs like a Cherokee???
My American just flat out beats the pants off of a Cherokee! :]
I actually had it out on the highway and put 100 miles on it yesterday.
It runs 70 MPH without even breaking a sweat, pulls the mountains in 5th gear 
without downshifting and if I want to see 80 mph all I have to do is ease down 
on the throttle.
   It still has some bugs I'd like to work on, but time will not allow much for 
thenext couple of months, so I'm leaving it as is. I found my check engine light 
to be a faulty Manifold air temp sensor and a loose connector ring ont he TPS 
switch. I've got no check engine light now!
