3ryce Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 As the title says, wondering if anyone has thought about swapping a 4.0 into their engine or if they know if it will fit but hasn't been done, I've got an opportunity to buy an engine super cheap and I want to do it, but was asking here first if anyone has any input on this idea. Would be neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's a really tall engine. But it does have the oil sump in the back, so it could fit. It's a heavy engine though. As it doesn't get swapped into many other non-Jeeps, I couldn't find any dimensions online. Wanna be the first to do it? Would be torquey as hell if it worked.

rturbo 930 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Honestly, I don't really see the point of putting a truck engine in a sports car. For the cost/effort of swapping, and (lack of) benefit of the swap, I'd just stick with the L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ryce Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well I have access to an engine, like super cheap. And I got access to a supercharger for free, I feel I can do this swap for pretty cheap, I will eventually go with a Ford 8.8 rear end as well.

3ryce Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'll take measurements of it. And I'm getting the hood cowling that puts a hole in the center of the hood and allows it to vent like that so I feel ill have hood clearance. I wanna stick with a inline 6 that's got torque and it will make plenty of power for the car and while it won't Rev super high like the l6 it will still be nice I think.

3ryce Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Oh. I have the 180sx suspension and its still really stiff so I think I've got the weight issue covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
