Inliners International Forums General Discussion Bench racing Jeep 4.6L stroker (Golen Engine Service)

I've got an opportunity to pick up a practically new Jeep 4.6L stroker motor built by Golen Engine Service out of New Hampshire. Questions:
-What does anyone know about Golen?
-What driveline could I bolt up to this unit that would work in a T-bucket/ I'd like to run a manual tranny.
-This is fuel injected--anything I should look out for? (My only experience is with carbed' engines--guess that makes me an old-timer!)
ANy help you guys can lend me would really be appreciated, as I'm going to haave to make a decision on this particular engine in two weeks or so.
Thanks,

Cabbie,

This is an interesting situation. Hoping to find an advisor for you, I looked in an issue of The 12 Port News. However, there's no one listed as an expert on the AMC....now Chrysler/Jeep engines. I've had a couple of older AMC vehicles and got some pretty good preformance out of them (258 Rambler/Gremlin)but that wouldn't relate to your project. I used all AMC stuff available at the time.(1970s)

Sorry I couldn't help you, but hope you will compile the data you learn, so maybe others can benefit from your efforts.

Hey, someone has to be the first!

Dennis-
Thanks for the input. I'll hang here hoping for information for a while until I go and inspect this engine for myself. It really sounds like a strong unit, but I just don't know much about AMC/Jeep/Chrysler stuff. Do you think that I could finf much AMC stuff that would bolt to it in the boneyards? Like a 4 or 5-speed manual tranny & clutch?
Thanks,
Jim

I don't know about golen, but I thought there was a T-5 in the Jeep family somewhere (with the shifter on the top cover too). But maybe I'm full of it today . You might post the trans question in Drive Train. There might be someone there that knows.

Golen advertises in most of the 4 wheel drive magazines as a Jeep replacement/upgrade motor. Contact them to see how far you can go.
