I have an 89 Extra Cab SR5 V6 auto with a bad motor. Since the toy V6 is expensive and a PITA to replace, if I am pulling it out anyways, I should put in something with a little more punch, right?
I went to the toy4x4 (minn) links and checked out the articles there, and it sounds like the ford 302 swap is the most simple.
Does this sound right?
I have a SAS front axle for it, so I can chuck that in and a lift for roughly the same as an IFS lift kit. (unless someone has one that they want to get rid of cheaply <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> )
Thoughts? How many people have done this or other motor costs? How much am I looking at?
