Engine transplant - BA/BF 4.0L into a TJ??

[yetiboy01]

XR6 Turbo, bigger injectors & chip & you have near 400kws & mountains of torque, nothing would get near it

Now THAT would be un-jeep-like.

I think I'm too young for an engine like that though lololol

I kinda agree with Ian...

I'm a fan of the BA-BF 4.0L, but by the time you work out adaptors, computers etc... you'd get better results from a LS series V8.

I've driven some crazy turbo'd 4.0L falcoons, and even though they go like stink, I still prefer the simplicity and casual power of a v8.

If it's more power you're after, a 4.7 stroker still works out cheaper than swapping any engine into a Jeep. The power figures on mine are about the same as the ford 4.0L, but I'm making more torque.
I'm averaging about 12-13L per 100k's, because you simply don't need to use as much throttle to do the same job. And it looks stock in the engine bay..........

[Lachlan]

Power was part of my reasoning, but not all of it. It'd be nice to have uniquely Australian cars, with Australian engineering/manufacturing, without them being so unique that they have no support elsewhere. This sort of engine transplant would allow that to happen. I think that by supporting foreign technology, and moving manufacturing offshore and/or overseas, we're slowly killing Australian industries...

I would love to see some one do it ive been half thinking about it to,, what sort of gear box's has ford used ?

[flexytj]

i would prefer a ba engine to a stroker as it would be far more efficient and a heap smoother and probably run cooler than a jeep engine , everything about the ford motor is just better x flow design means you wouldnt have to rap you exhaust around the sump either .

[RYANGLER]

would you use a 4spd out of a au or something or ven a c4 or c6

t18 if you want a manual
