i love bigots
wow still got your head up somewhere eh?should i list everything? i swapped a motor and wiring that i had to move 8 wires on-easy.it bolted to the factory motor mounts, tranny,tcase driveshafts,radiator,02 sensor.every single aspect was factory bolt on, and straight forward.there are no 302 swaps that will and there are no v-8 explorers for the cost of a 90-94 in the wrecking yard.
sounds like someone was spooked by a couple wires and threw a carbed pile(several actually,until one ran) in his 2wd,and now crows that everyone should have a truck that can't be smogged.i f'd up a few cars in highschool that way but now i like clean work.
as i said before there are app's where i'de want a small block and it would really be easier to swap,like maybe a factory carbed rbv,or where i actually need the extra power. i'm not demonizing it or saying theres no reason to swap in a 4.0 like you are.it certainly does boil down to choice but NOT because the engines or the swaps are equal.as far as i'm concerned you haven't addressed any of my points and have explained quite well that you have no idea how easy a 4.0 swap is in a 89-94 compared to a v8 swap.
have a nice day, rick
