thanks I figure your correct I just looking to make sure before I add any more cost to the project. By the time I do the engine swap I will be in another 7k
why so much one might ask, I just do not have the time to find and purchase a tracker and then part it out on craigs list. Or is it I have got to the point that lowballers have mad me so angry that I would rather scrap s##t than deal with texts and phone calls. another subject...
I did anther test drive and have some better number 1st 10 mph 2nd 20mph 3rd 30mph 4th 38 mph and 5th is 55 but can push 60 on the flat but she wound really tight, like waiting to see what come from under the hood
However for the support for those guys it drive perfect, as advertised, no wobble or wander better than stock I was amazed.
I did have to loosen a rear disk brake than was dragging way to much and gained a little more. But the rear disk do drag a lot, I upgraded to samurai front disks on the rear.
I have no tac so the best I can tell the clutch is not slipping, just another thought.
as for the swap I think I would go with the 16 Valve just so the would never be any carb issues, but by the time you do the clutch, motor mounts, exhaust w/ header, fuel tank, and power steering it really adds up.
Still not sure as it seems to be geared a little tight I thought I would have been able to do 55 in 4th and the find that there was just no squirrels left to get the last 15 to 20 miles per hour
Just a sounding board before I fix the problem or go back to a jeep
I really do not want to change the suspension go down to 31 inch tire and switch the transfercase out and still have to put a 1.6 in to get a rig that will do 70 when the traffic around me is doing 80 legally on the SW freeways
