I have a 72 240z I'v been looking to do a swap for a long time. some of the things iv looked in to are stroking a l28. $$$$. ca18det. well things have changed for me. (new baby boy coming in 2 weeks) i just bought a 1996 jeep cherokee for my girl an been looking more an more in to the 4.0 motor an i am impressed. the power is impressive for a SUV thats 2 tons. the throttle response is probably the best iv ever felt. Thing that I like in a motor, torque, throttle response, reliability, ease of tuning, an cheap!
