strang3majik Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 If you're going to do that, might as well go magnum v8. They're pretty much the same with 2 more cylinders. Mounts are the same, bellhousing bolt patterns are the same.....all with more ponies...lol But, people have built those engines in Dakotas with superchargers and such and made some pretty decent numbers.

BAD Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 If you're going to do that, might as well go magnum v8. They're pretty much the same with 2 more cylinders. Mounts are the same, bellhousing bolt patterns are the same.....all with more ponies...lol There is no way I'd with the v6, if your going to do the swap do the V8 with the reasons listed above, plus the fact the V8 has 10X as much aftermarket.

white quest ky Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ive thought about the v8 but from the looks of it I dont believe a 360 as originally planned would fit in my montero and besides the v6 is great on gas produces great numbers and it weighs less I just wanna know if anyone has done it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
