My buddy that's into small Fords and I went wheeling up in Whitehall years back. He was really impressed with the way my lighter Cherokee with a little more wheelbase climbed hills. So he ended up getting one. Thing is, I couldn't help him get his head around the difference in the way a 4.0 jeep makes power compared to his Bronco II engine. He wanted to bounce off the rev limiter all day and that's just not how the straight six gets it done. So he swapped a 2.9 in it. Seemed like a step backwards to me and a *s-word-ton of extra work but he was really good at keeping his wheels spinning.
Some folks just don't get it.

He had it up to Silver lake after the conversion. 2.9s have that tall intake plenum, so he had cut the hood to clear it. Someone saw him tearing around the dunes and said "that thing got a tunnel ram?":facepalm:

I've only heard that story 50 times.

Just cause you live in God's country doesn't make it nice to bad mouth the poor sum *b-wordes to dumb to move there.

I've always been amazed at the old iron that's laying about in the Southern part of the country. There's literally nothing left of old cars around here, every time a car gets traded in at a dealer it's sent to Chicago to be sold there if it's older and rusty.

The Chevrolet engine would probably be an easier fit. Rear sump oil pan alone means a lot.
Is the SOHC 4.0 junk? I've might have skipped a few 20 pages.

Hate is such a strong word. I really dislike AC/DC. I reserve my hate for politicians.
Me too.FB_IMG_1601456382787.jpg

HANG THEM ALL FOR TREASON!!!!
You ever have a delayed bluey kick in and get stuck in the avionics?
Just wondering in case I ever hear of a plane downed by pecker tracks, I'll know what happened.

Funny story with pecker tracks.

At work we have PEPPER tracks that appear on the image. It's when a small pinhole flaw is on the plate and pokes a hole repeatedly and forms a line that looks like pepper flakes.

My boss whole likes extra schmedium shirts thought we called it pecker tracks lol.

So wtf Wayne. You are a newspaper printer guy?? Here all along I thought you were a high paid train engineer like my neighbor guy. GFY!!
I work on a Holographic press. No ink just lots of heat glue and thick paper.

No.....the transmission is.

Not going with the rebuild?

I got an SM 465 that would be pretty sweet in there.
