well i was gonna take it all apart and replace the gaskets, check clearances and new water pump, oil pump, freeze plugs, seals, and go from there. not looking for a beast motor just want about 200-250hp, want to stay carb'd, and dont see the point in a 4.0 swap, and with low hp i can reuse my 3core explorer 4.0 radiator...o yea im on a budget too lol
so i guess ill take a comp tester with me and a breaker bar. all there stuff comes with a 3 mnth warranty, which im guessing is from the time of purchase, so im going to have everything ready so it will be up and running as quick as possible. they estimate 50-70 hrs for a swap, but since ive already converted my ignition, im sure i can do it in about 2 full days working on it. and can have the motor and trans ready in about 6 hrs, and since im using a c5 with c4 valvebody, t/c, and bellhousing, i wont need adapters
one question. for offroading and daily driving what is the best stall speed t/c to use? im going to stick with my stock 3.73's and see how they do
