I've thought about it from time to time, and it may happen to my B2 eventually. I'm just not sure yet. My swap would be a hair more complicated.It wouldn't be that different from a 4.0 swap. The ultimate question would be why?
The 4.0 will bolt up the 2.9 tranny. The 3.0 will not.
The 4.0 will shred an FM trans, his needs replaced anyway
The 4.0 has more power than a 3.0.
3.0s tend to get better MPG than the 4.0
The slightly better mileage from a 3.0 over a 4.0 doesn't make up for the generally miserable experience of driving a 3.0.3.0 gets better MPG than a 4.0? Yes, but BARELY, talking 1-2 MPG difference.
