stumbled on this..cheap...


4.0L

 

not bad. I already have the 4.0 though :D

 

Nice find Bryce....

 

lol ditto... makes me think I should have kept my 3.0L reg. cab and done an engine swap haha

 

wow, I wish I had 430 bucks, man... Well, maybe not cause "Another Member" (not gonna tell) seems to be have some difficulties swapping his in. different radiators, different mounts, etc. I haven't talked to him recently, though.

 

nice find

but...

you'll need the computer, tranny, and most likely driveshaft, which will add up

 

Radiators should be the same. Seems odd, but I just was looking through a bunch of radiator specs and the 3.0 and 4.0 had the same part listed for both.

 

that is becasue the member im guessing he is talking about has a 1997 with a 2.3L and is putting a 2001 4.0 SOHC in.

 

Well that explains it haha

 

Yeah, that's him. Sorry for the confusion.

 

not that I need one but i can't tell is that a push rod or SOHC

 

Taken out of an 03...if it's a push rod someone seriously did a bassakwards engine swap

 

thats for sure^^

 

Considering I started a progress thread, is it a secret? Either way, I consider having to locate a few oem parts merely a distraction or inconvenience that is understandable when putting a newer engine in a truck it was never meant for. If Ford never made parts that would work...that would be a little more of a difficulty.

 

Oh i missed that part about it came out of an 03

 

still though for a 4.0L thats CHEAP,

 

yeah it is

 

Good find. I know I would use more gas but I wounder how much power I would have with two 4.0's. Huuuummmmmmmmm! Naaaah!
