I know soem folks have done it, and I've seen the good and the bad about these engines.
Folks say when maintained and built right they are perfectly fine, plus you can tune em and squeeze out a bunch of fuel economy.
However,
I believe these things are somewhat weak as far as numbers go, like 130HP and 2something torque?
I assume the swap would be fairly straight forward (as far as engine swaps go)? almost like a 350 swap? Engine, tranny, mounts, t-case?
A guy on a local forum has one that's a good runner just pulled out of a K5, and that got the wheels turnin' in my head....
I'm probably just dreaming though.
Thoughts?
