'round n' back again
Explorer
as i have mentioned in other posts, i am on layoff for a while-with waaay too much time on my hands, i'm conjuring all kind of modifications and "upgrades"? to my poor montee. she is patient and only winces a bit when i pull a blooper-but i cant leave my hands off her...
anyhoo...
coil over front springs
a new slide pan to fit beneath front axle /steering (Worked on today , looks promising).
moving mounting arms for biggger radiator
and now, REPOWER
this is for next layoff season. it needs careful planning. not my slap dash "get it done b4 dark method".
i dreampt of a 4.3 v6 chev engine, then a 3800 supercharged engine ,
a 2,7 toyota engine
keep coming back to power/ weight and....simplicity i hate walk-outs.
tonite i witnessed a montero 4g63 on puffed air and wow, wow, wow!
the engine is breathtaking. simply a beautiful engine.
i prefer pushrod engines in trucks but this turbo 4 is making me wiggle like a pup.
it likely weighs a lot less than the 6 and there is millions(billions)? of aftermarket parts support for this engine.
FIRST question.
bell housing patterns
is she a bolt in to the v6 auto with either the wide or narrow 4g block?
any idea?
thanks
