Well it wasn’t today but it’s the first time I’ve had a minute to log on here.
The XJ is running again.
The 4.7 Stroker is in but I had a few changes to make.
The motor had been built with a 258 sump as it was intended for a CJ7 and lack of clearance was enough of an issue to change it over- that and the towie who some how managed to rip off the sump bash plate and dump all the oil onto his tray when delivering it....
Made up some new battery cables 50mm sq copper, soldered lugs for the starter and engine ground, 25mm for the fuse block and body ground.
Pulled out the busted Davies Craig fan controller I’d previously installed and replaced it with some relays for the triple fan set-up I have.
Larger 4 hole injectors- these are an experiment...
Has SS extractors and a cold air intake.
I’m thinking it’s way too many mods for the stock ECU to cope with.
Full set of new engine sensors are on the way but it will be months till I’m back in the shed to play again so she’s mothballed with the solar panel hooked up to maintain the battery.
