stock #'s im going from about 170hp to about 115hp and from 220ft/lbs to about 175ft/lbs, and prolly 35+ mpg. from there its all how much money i put into it(as all ways), but going by team 1000 and there numbers on a 4D55T " We use 25psi-33psi boost in normal race. Max boost during testing conditions on racetrack is 37psi. At 29psi boost it produced over 200hp/295ft lbs torque on the dyno and would guess it make over 250hp and 400ft lbs of torque at 37psi." so with that its all open.im just looking forward to playing around with it and see what happens.

That's probably from the stock, small turbo. If you upgraded a bit, I bet you could get to the 250hp range with less boost.

the swap is not for fuel economy, though i have read that some mighty maxs have tuned there 4d55 to 40+mpg. i think i just want to do a swap that has not been done before (i belive) and see what i can get out of it. plus i think its cool

gas/diesel/electric, you have to pay to play.
So the 4d56t, is a wideblock only, or did it come in a narrow block varient?
Not that that is a killer, Bill makes an adapter kit to make it work in whatever.
