- Of all the videos we've done, Newcomer Racing's (www.NewcomerRacing.com) high horsepower stroker Jeep 4.0 build is one of the most popular -- so we're back for more! This time engine builder Keith Newcomer is dumping his entire basket of tricks into a stroker build to make maximum naturally aspirated power in a Jeep straight six. This includes a custom crank trigger, Holley Dominator ECU, a cam sync, Holley Smart Coils, and a fully ported Edelbrock cylinder head. Oh, and don't forget one of the wildest intakes you will ever see on a Jeep!

Only one word- 'Awesome'
I'm gonna put this channel on my list of top 10 favourite youtube channels
Awesome! Thanks
The Horsepower Monster did jj.
N my mom
I 2.\
Class is in session nice break down whats what .
@@TheHorsepowerMonster ppp

You don't need a ls swap. This engine is perfect. I'm glad someone is giving it the proper respect. Awesome video brother
Thanks!
that head alone EASILY has $2000+ worth of porting,its also a $2000 head.weird /uncommon/unloved
engines are great,they just cost a fortune to make similar power to an LS,just be fully aware of this.
you can go get a junkyard 5.3 LS right now for couch change,throw in a $150-$200 cam and make 100 more horsepower effortlessly
I agree 100% and it's cool tech and ideas he has used , only downside is nobody makes aftermarket parts for these engines..
So an LS would be cheaper... and you could get some serious power with a 6.0 or 5.3 aluminum block that would be similar in weight, and even a mild build LS all told would be cheaper than just some of the parts he is using here.
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 yeah but then you have to go about swapping it into the Jeep, which costs thousands
@@ivanfromtheeast4709 less expensive than building a custom engine! The head alone is gotta be upwards of $4000+!
Wao! That was impressive when you think about it. Almost 400 hp without Turbo! 😳 one has to respect that.
Your explanation is phenomenal, he explains every bit about engines so clearly that even a dummy like me can understand about engines
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
@@TheHorsepowerMonster thank you, for making such a great content
Or you may just think you understand?! Nah, just kidding. He does do a fantastic job explaining. Everything I know about cars comes from gentlemen like this who share their knowledge firsthand. 👍👍
That's absolutely insane I've always wanted to see what a straight 6 could really do when given the proper attention awesome video man!
Thanks! And thanks for watching
The Chrysler 265 hemi can make 550 hp with carburettors so i reckon maybe that jeep engine may still have more ponies to unlock
With around 15 psi boost this engine should easily make 600 brony ponies!
@@kevintucker3354 Too easy there's no fun in that
I mean what a beautiful block , a GTR is basically I6, with forged crank and the right compression with better rods and stuff I bet these things could be real monsters... The wall thickness in the blocks is pure beef.
in Argentina these engines are used to equip the dodges of the TC racing category
replacing the one formerly used by the slant six.
For these jeeps a 24-valve cylinder head was developed and manufactured in Argentina, the same was done with the ford six in-line engine and the chevrolet six in-line, therefore now all maintain the old blocks six in line but with camshaft head and 24 valves, they deliver approximately 500 HP
I wanted to share this with motor lovers.
Greetings from Argentina
That's cool. I'd love to see one in person.

@@TheHorsepowerMonster I would LOVE to see a story about those heads
@@TheHorsepowerMonster
I suspect the Jeep motor that German Turchetti was referring to was the "other" US built OHC six from the 1960s. That would be the Kaiser built Tornado. The engine was also built in Argentina by Kaiser subsidiary and used in AMC body styles that were no longer produced in the US. The motor is a completely different design
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kaiser_Tornado_engine.jpg
But the again I could be wrong. If so there's probably some Jeep and AMC owners that would snap one up
@@germanturchetti6351
Could you send a link for the supplier
400 hp out of a Jeep 6 cyl is amazing. Love the tech on the engine also. Great job 👍
In Argentina this engines are making 350-400hp N/A from a long time ago, with only 188ci (race league limitations)...now with custom made 24v cilinder heads, they are just awesome!
That 400hp out of that Jeep6 is not even 100Hp/Litre. Still far from rest of the world
For example Opel made 320Hp from 2,4litre inline in 1982....
Honda inline4, made from bottom part of K24 engine and head from K20 engine + stroker = 500hp out of 2.7L in N/A.
Not joking.
But still i love those older American V8s and sixes. And i love those videos.
Cant wait for an episode with big V6!
Might be GM 3.8L
The most impressive part of this engine is that it achives this 400hp at a quite low revs, 6100-6200.
It does mean that the head flows very good, its not so easy with only 2 valves/cyl.
Jarek Nowak: the one who build 500Hp 2,7L should be working in Formula 1 racing. He must know something that worlds best professionals dont know. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My son used to spend all his free time modifying his car. Headaches, bloody knuckles, aggravation. I did it when I was his age.
When I learned that my time is more valuable I would trade my car in for something faster. Happy that I got out of this never ending need for more power. When he became successful in his mid 30s he started to follow my car advice. Very happy with our 911 Turbos. 4 wheel drive stock hardtop.
Do whatever makes you happy.
Love seeing people develop engines that are not usually modified. This is excellent
yeah thats best part! look 1320 videos when they come to Brasil and they look our GM 250 l6 turbo with insane power. well this engines are heavy modified but run great constant 7sec on 1/4 with cast iron head hahahahah . Best Regards from Brasil!
Start looking into the L47 V8 that went into the Oldsmobile Aurora.
It was used in LeMans Prototype racecars for 3 years, and Carol Shelby even took an interest in it for a concept car that unfortunately never made it to production.
I have one of Keith's engines, it's a MONSTER! He is such a phenomenal guy to work with as well.
What’s it in? What did you get
@@foch3 A 321 hp 331 lb ft Jeep Stroker.
I see this is from 3yrs ago, you still running the stroker? Been holding reliability?
@@XiiPuNiSh3RiiX negative. Gave the motor to my father. I have a TDI now. ua-cam.com/video/Kqg4aIZujyo/v-deo.html
6200 rpm on the 4.0!! Holy crap. Amazing numbers all the way around.
Awesome build. I always like the old AMC inline 6 s. It is most likely the valve springs causing that power dip. Running the engine n a, I would add velocity stacks to the cannon intake. That would cut back on turbulence in the runners, caused by the transition from the plenum.
loved to see this, I always felt the AMC/Jeep inline 6 had much unrealized potential, and these changes un-lock it!
That was a great engine build. Jeep straight 6 is a sweet one to do as they seem to be bullet proof. Great innovation thru out.
Explanation great, music not too loud, and no stupid hype or side track rambling, just straight to the meat. I wish every video on youtube was this good!!
Thanks!
I love the Jeep builds. Makes me want to do more to mine
Excellent program and performance. I have a jeep 258 that we got 320 hp and 306 pft using old school techniques. I really like that build.
You should have more torque than horsepower.
One of the coolest build Jeep motors Ive ever seen it need to be in not just one set up it needs to go to a different classes and really show its true calling thanks guys all of you worked really hard on this and I love it
Fantastic. It is great to see a true master at work and what a beautiful engine he has put together!! That custom machined valve cover spacer and custom intake manifold is the bomb!! The end result speaks for itself!!
Definitely one of my favorite engine building sites, I love the detail that Jeff describes about all the little things that are so important in these types of builds. This particular build may just be a six cylinder Jeep engine but the engineering and thought used to create all the parts needed is awesome. Nearly 400 horsepower from a non boosted inline 6 is nothing to sneeze at. Great work and please show us more.
AWESOME, truly awesome!!!!!!!! Newcomer is one skilled guy!
back in the 90's i had a 232 built for my cj7and the engine was awesome and the long tube dual spit header gave the sound of a dirt modified when wound up these are great engines it great to see a engine builder that has taken the time to build a 4.7 like this thank you for covering this build this would be unique in a 33' roadster or a 40 willies gasser
I love the 4.0L I6... its a tractor motor for sure but I've taken my XJ on 5K mile road trips where we spent over 50% of those miles off-road and in the backcountry. I'd have LOVED to have 300HP climbing some of the grades we have here in the PNW.
24:46 ". . . was a bit of a project . . ." every single interface piece was fabricated specifically for this engine. I'd call that more than "a bit" of a project, as almost no one watching this could achieve, let alone conceive, of the necessary bits and pieces involved in making that engine make its music. Well done! Getting that engine to turn 6K+ RPMs was a feat by itself.
Damn... Not only does it make double the power, it also sounds awesome !
That crank trigger setup was one of the most sophisticated things I've seen you guys do and you guys did a really good job on that setup especially making that totally stock looking style man that is rad
Nice build great machine and casting workmanship.
There's a man with some serious skills and the passion to go with them!
Sweet, sweet glorious music to my ears! cant wait to see the turbo version!!!
Very cool video,loved it.
I cant watch these videos when some is just reeling off technical information, but this is showing everything with clear explanations. Awesome thankyou,m
Sweet, beautiful and tough... really nice work,precision, accuracy and content. Thank yous for sharing your amazing build,tutorial and explainations of.
Dyno system pretty amazing
Damn! things have sure changed since the days I used to do this in the car port at the house!.. We didn't have all of this electronic stuff.. except the electronic ignition was coming into fashion as we wound down.. We did it all the timing by ear back then on our hot rods.. and the old fords you could do a tune up with a dime and a match book cover.. I prefer those day (maybe because I was still young then).. I sure as heck enjoy this... Just a passing thought though.. it is a good things things were so simple back then.. none of us could afford all the electronic stuff needed today.. it was hard enough just to get the parts.. thanks guys.. this was fun.. Carry on!
I miss tuning carburetors and setting points. Cars were so easy to fix 40 years ago
@@kevintucker3354 Me too brother.. especially the old fords you could do a tune up with a dime and a match book cover.. ;-)
280 ci = 400 hp ! that is a great engine well done !
This is great! We need innovative people in this industry.
Wow, I just subscribed about a week ago and already loving this!! I'm new to Jeeps, and kinda leaning toward building another engine for fun, this is a PERFECT channel to learn on mixed with Google for the funky terms, lol. Thank you so much!!
I ported my jeeps 4.0 years and years ago... took me a year cause I’d be usually tired after work so I wouldn’t get much done, anyways once I was done and it was back together I didn’t notice much but until I got into the soft sand or mud it didn’t bog down like it used to... also some kid in Wisconsin did something with his computer to help me out as well... he was good enough to bypass my EGR delete and turn off the check engine light for me... technology has done come a long long way in a very short time.... this for me was like 10yrs ago or so...
Man, i want a motor like this in my Jeep!
Your excellent presentaion of what your talking about is very precise and accurate. I wisheh everyone who explains there product or situation was as great as yours!
Wonderful build by you guys. Thank you
Making that Jeep run like a V8!
Yep, makes the same power as a junkyard $500 LS with a cam and valve springs.
I need those sensors to be up for purchase. After seeing this video I’m so excited to see my 4.0 scream with a stand-alone system
Exactly! Please produce all the parts required, PLEASE!!!
I absolutely love in-line sixes!! Awesome build. 👌 The guys over at Engine Power built a Chevy 292, with fuel injection and a turbo, and it put out just under 400hp and 510 torque. I can't wait to see how this baby will do with a turbo on it!! Love that cannon intake too, btw. Lol
Looks like she wanted to rev even higher! Solid work!
great build. Definitely would like to see something with the Ford 4.9L inline.
Power Block/Nation, is working on one currently. Look and see if there is anything new about it.
The Australian's have already done this, that is what a Barra is with its crossflow head etc. They can be built to over 1500hp on the factory iron block.
Jeff Pittman you should see the V12 a guy made with two 4.9’s
Vontay
I love your Ford Barra engines! They rip. They are on par with the jdm RB engines!
@@deborahchesser7375 where's the link?
Amazing build, fun to watch. Long live the 4.0.
Host is great. So is the filming.
Thanks!
Good in depth, to the point, no BS. Cool to see an analog to digital custom conversion and see Its hard to do but is doable. It isn't something I would think to do with that engine but I love seeing. Can't wait to see the turbo edition. I watched a PowerNation Build of a strait 6 bored & stroke just before this vid, I kept skipping through crap. Great Presentation!
Hey thanks! And thanks for watching!
I like the fact it makes almost 400 horse power that is awesome for straight six engine
Holy crap that "canon" intake its straight porn, wonder how is the part throttle response on the street; and the rest of the engine its just amazing work, the attention to the details its on a whole new level, cant wait to see more !!
@@Future-Preps35 Tuned ITBs on this engine should be awesome too!! find the right lenght for the cam rpm range and you will get a strong jump in hp/torque band.. now match that rpm range with gearing in the Jeep and that would be a super fun vehicle to drive
I'd love to see a WJ or WG Jeep 4.7L with the same work done to see the improvements.
Ram 08 and above would be nice also with the 4.7 V-8 !
Unbelievable work and results!
This engine made the same power with pushrods, 2 valve and "only" 4.2L, as the Vette C4 ZR1 with Lotus/Mercury Marine 5.7L 32V.
And only 6200rpm.
Thats quite impressive!
Ehh one is cammed mildly to be a street car, the other is a $$$$ race motor that is still crippled by a reverse flow head
Your kidding right ?? Get Real dude !!!
@@calebnation7797
What race motor, this 4,2 makes max power at 6200rpm, thats only 400rpms higher than max power in stock LT5 with 5,7 4-valve (and same 400hp).
It is perfectly streetable.
This is a single cab 96 dodge dakota would be a blast
Can the 4.0 swap into a Dakota without extensive cab mods?
Great Job! Makes me want to build another straight six, easy to work on!!!
Raising the roof of the ports. I used this method as prescribed by Joe Sherman (article in Car Craft in the '90s and I followed it exactly) for a 400hp small ford. I used the Fel-Pro gasket called out and lined the bottom of the gasket to the bottom of the port. Light polish at bottom and ground out the roof for days in my shed. I could not keep the 265 BF Radial T/As hooked up at all in my Maverick. I truly believe the biggest gain was from the porting.
My '94 wrangler would really be a trail monster with this set up for sure and with the torque and horses power it will give I would definitely upgrade the stock axles to one tons.
That being said, what was the ball park cost of this build? How would the gas milage be affected? Probably wont really know until it's tested on the trails for a while.
Great video guys.👍
head and head work ALONE is in the $5000 range....this isnt a budget build,its a $15,000+ engine
Wish I had this engine back when I had my Gremlin.
These dudes that know motors on this level blow my mind .
My god, absolute dream build for my '85 AMC Eagle! Great video!
Wish that was in my jeep
I need this for Beach Jeep. Newcomer DanH collaboration?? 🙏
OH hell ya i would take this over a LS anyday ,nice work,the rocker set up gives this a big improvement,nice work guys you are now one my top 10 channels!
Thanks a lot!
Wow man can’t wait for the turbo build
No windage tray? I'd like to see a velocity stack at the end of each runner.
Yeah, with the work put into it, you'd think he'd build a proper wedge shaped plenum with trumpets inside for the turbo intake
@@lobmin once turbo'd the trumpets dont do much for air flow, but in this case I think he would have seen some mild gains
@@jaytrapp71 he will definitely see high rpm hp & torque improvement. You can see he is losing high rpm power while having better numbers on low & mid rpm. That's a clear sign of a distrupted airflow which normally seen on high rpm examples. Plus intake response would improve too.
I wonder how the Ford six would fare with such caring ministrations applied.
Just look to Australia. They build crazy Ford six's all the time.
@Rusty Climber
The Barra head will not fit on the 300. The Aussie Ford six was based on the small six. Be just as easy to just buy a Barra.
Wow!! Class build and great results!! A top watch this video!!
Amazing! I’ve always respected the Jeep motor for its nearly bulletproof track record.
Man I’d love to see what could be done with the Chevy i5 3.5 or 3.7
Would make a perfect swap for an xj
More non v8 content 😁
manitoublack and the team: Im a total devotee to the Dorton families approach to great ignition and fue delivery. It fazes and amazes me how guys split the dual synch system standard with any 1986 onwards Sequential F brand TFi and call it progress, though!. Anyway, I've seen a seprate crank sensor for advance, cam phaser sensor for sequential solution on a Holley HP turbo 200 SEFi Ford. As long as you have two square wave forms, your in Fing orbit Buzz Lightyear! Lookes like a Bernstien sensor like Ive used. Very easy to blow up if misswired, but boy it makes great squarewaves which will allways be picked up. The Holley HP system is particular in that it "demands" two great signals if deciding to go full sequential, and doesnt deal well with Fords Spout out or 36-1 or 62-2 combined signals. When split signals arrive, it then delivers most excellent base mapping. Any Mopar guys from Australia...your 265 cubic inch D series Hemi builds will love this stuff. Not many will know, but our stock race E49s were making 295 hp net at 5300 rpm on Kiwi Leo Lenards dyno back in 1972, a constant of 265 cubes x 5300 rpm / 295 hp net, or 4761. It say another 50 hp net would be found with the increased cylinder pressure on a 265 Hemi if you used this management system. On this Jeep, its cal is : 280 cid x 6200 rpm / 395 gross hp. It's a constant of 4400. Constants like that are hard to get on non cross flow heads, which behave just like restrictor plate engines. Keith and his son understand thosd engines more than anyone on earth. David Vizard did it in 1985 with one Weber 48 on a 1400 cc engine, a constant of 4449 on a siamese port, three bearing non cross flow engine. If I recall. In a similar way Richard Holdener got it down to 3918 on one of his 5.1 liter Holley Hi Ram destroked LS 6.0 engine builds, 310 cubes times 8000 rpm/ 633 hp gross although even NASCAR engines are down to 3650 now. Gotta say...great work
Wow...... I have a 95 Cherokee with a stroker motor from 505 performance. I ran it a few years on FAST stand alone ecu. It developed an engine knock in the spring. Sadly, it's still sitting. I'm not sure what the problem is. This engine build is Phenomenal. I can't wait to see the turbo application on it.......... Man I wish I had that motor
Man i really wanted to see that custom header get a pull too! I was impressed how well the stock style intake mani performed against the custom cannon. They look so ineffecient in appearance. I also really really wanna see what an upgrade from the flat tappet and a double valve spring install coulda done for high rpm power production, u can see the curve still wants to climb up top before cutoff at 6200rpm. Impressive stuff guys, now get all this custom one off stuff into production so the jeep market can enjoy them. Theres huge potential for sales here guys! Keep it up!
Why is there no cross flow heads available.
These motors have a cult following
They would sell all day long
Let's design one and carve it out of billet or cast it and rake in the $
One word, money. One reason Edelbrock did not do a cross flow head is CARB. If one gets creative you could fabricate a new cross flow head out of a couple of Ford or Chevy small block heads. The bore spacing is exactly the same as the Ford and only .020 over the Chevy. The big issue is the ignition system. The intake needs to be on the intake side to keep the pushrods away from the exhaust.
@@mpetersen6 I've looked into this a bit and think that the Australian 351Clevland head would be great with the splayed valves. The bore spacing is correct as is the bolt spacing lengthwise but crosswise the Jeep engine is narrower and one of the end bolts is in an offset position. Some bare undrilled heads, some aluminum welding and some machine work should be all you need.
@@jamesford2942
Others have done thought exercises on this too. Somebody may have even tried it but either it didn't work or it was beyond d their skill level. If somebody could put LS heads on a Ford inline 6 you should be able to do this. The Ford 240/300 has a BC of 4.480. The 144/170/200/250 is 4.08. Too bad the Barra isn't based on the same BC as the Windsor or Cleveland. That would be the way to go. On one of the Jeep sites there was an image of a cad drawing that showed the head bolt position of the Ford and Chevy Small Blocks. I wonder if it would be practical to bore out the whole cylinder wall and install sleeves that are then welded or silver soldered in place. The 4.0 block has a pretty high nickel content iirc* so welding should be easier. Re-deck the block and straighten the main bearing bores out. Incidentally the cam bearing were installed prior to the finish bore of the main bearing bores. The mains and cam bearings were bore at the same time to maintain parallelism and center distance.
*The nickel content may have been really high initially. The early blocks on some machining stations the chips would come off blue. Not something you normally see with cast iron.
@@mpetersen6 I have gone as far as buying head gaskets and laying them over each other to determine the difference. I have a 4.0 a 258 Jeep engine and many Ford small block heads. Maybe a set of unfinished Edelbrock Cleveland heads would be a starting place.
How much to get one of these
Dave Micolichek I think you should check his web site...the cost to build a stroker my self vice what his cost make it seem a no brained to not build my own...I just wonder what the difference is for,the MAC daddy.
@Dave Micolichek no the price i saw was for the "garden viraity" stroker not the Mac daddy... there is nothing intended at all. i thought my reply was self explanatory with no offense intended
Straight 6's are definitely underrated & under-appreciated, I'm not sure why ?
My 1971 Mercedes 250-CE twisted it's driveshaft & blew out the centre (hanger) bearing. The little Jeep Comanche truck with this 4 litre six blew my mind . Then I had a 70's Ford "shaggin wagon" van with the 5 litre, six. It had torque like a tractor & I never needed to run more than 2,000 rpm.
Excellent channel guys.
That. Just. Rocks! well done!
"We Double The Horsepower"
On a stock crank...Hmmmm
Could this work on a ford 300
Would be interesting to see.
Here my out. I want to see if anyone could use a v12 ls head on a 6 to make a crossflow
@Ragingbull340 the bore space is like. 05ish off
If this engine has great reliable results . it will be on my bucket list to buy one already built.. Ive been watching his builds on these 4.0s since it started, thank you sir for going on out on a limb for this engine ..
Kind of like Don't stagnate,,, Innovate!" I love the why not attitude backed by lots of experience!
Look at that stock block! Thick where it counts!
¡ Totally insane! I've been looking for something like this for a Jeep Tj my son and have . 👌😎👍
The engine, IMPRESSIVE! The video, fun to watch!
Thanks!
Awesome build, the intake is beautiful!!
Unreal. Love the sound of the Jeep inline 6 🔥🔥 music to my ears
My 99 TJ NEEDS this!
Awesome work guys!!
This was fantastic. I had a 235 six in my 66 short box Chevy. when I put headers on it made it torture in the winter. !!
Within the first minute and 15 seconds you found the solution to a modern problem.
You have a beautiful mind! Wow, I luv your builds. Kudos 👍
The potential for straight-6's as well as slant-6's has been neglected for way too long, and you guys proved that with the impeccable workmanship and fantastic horsepower results, with what you've done to this Jeep engine. Excellent! :)
Unfortunately there is no aftermarket for a slant six cylinder head, I think it has been out of production too long and a lot of the surviving cars were V8 swapped. The Chevy 250 is in the same boat, having gone out of production in 1985.. Similar for Ford 300.
Can't wait to see that turbo!!
Definitely earmarked for the dream TJ build, though it may stay only a dream. Finances permitting I'd have one of these built. Checked his website and glad to see Jeep packages available, and the daily reliability is nice to hear about.
Wow I think you have got a gem in that straight six flat torque and climbing horses, fantastic.
When I saw the part about your custom exhaust/intake washer solution I started drooling. How many hours I spent as a kid trying to get a 4 barrel intake and headers to stay tight. Custom washers were always bending. It was a bitch. This was a 258 scrambler I built in the late 80s. Great fun!
It runs smooth 😀 🥰 I like that. I thought it would sound loud as hell. Bad ass build 👍💯💯💯
Awesome work you guys do! Way better than watching the crap that's on TV lately!! Thanks!!!!!
Have a good friend who has dealt to a 202GM ^ It is an Aust derivitive. It has had the treatment with lots of hand made parts. Portting, big valves but he two most significant improvments after that was boring out the cam tunnels and a cam was made with a bigger base circle and it has a roller cam with some crazy geometry. The other thing was it was dry sumped and that surrended about 40hp. They were stunned. Engine had trouble getting to temp and sucked in the cork valve cover gasket during the initial figuring out. It turns to 8300 at about 3600cc and makes just over 380hp. It is in a light weight narrow LC torona and is famous down here in NZ. Really fast car for an old classic. Runs tripple webber sidedrafts
Awesome numbers.
Congrats.
Dang I want one .... can't wait to see the all out turbo build
I used a jeep cam sync on my dodge 408 to go from disi to cop. I used megasquirt though. Worked great. Made 703 whp on 8lbs.
