My buddy who is also a big time Jeep tech said that if you put the intake off of a 98 4.0 onto a 94/95 4.0 it adds 30 HP, not sure he was telling the truth, but there are design changes between the older intakes and the newer ones, just something to think about, job looks good, those stock exhaust manifolds always crack at the Y's.

Yeah there's a few in the junkyard maybe we will look into that but yeah thanks it was fun to do and that's what I was told is that happens a lot with the jeeps the kid he got the jeep off of killed it in a 5 to 6 foot mud hole but now that he has it it actually has life I guess the kid got a newer jeep and killed that.one not to long ago in the same hole lmao

Power wash the **** out of the LIM. Now is the time to paint your supercharger if you ever wanted to.

Re: (the start of lim and valve cover gaskets) 98 gtx and 97 gtp to make one

i need to do the same thing next week. not looking forward to it
 
Re: (the start of lim and valve cover gaskets) 98 gtx and 97 gtp to make one

Personally..I wash the motor about a week before doing the job if possible. Or wash it, then air gun it off and do the job. That way it's clean when you disassemble and crap won't go into the engine as easily. Looks like you are doing fine. Keep up the good work.
 
Re: (the start of lim and valve cover gaskets) 98 gtx and 97 gtp to make one

No your blower is not ported.

Use a dremmel to port it.

There's a few threads lingering around this forum telling you how to port it and what tools to use.
