Chop like this

Does it have a lift on it? Lots of space for some bigger tires.

6 cylinder truck? pussy

you missed the memo 325hp/610ftlbs

4/26/2009 1:14:02 AM

it's no leaning tower of power.

straight six is one of the best engine block designs....period

4/26/2009 8:37:32 PM

you got my approval


time to start dropping some dimes on that bad boy and up the powa

It's the only engine naturally balanced for zero vibration due to it's design.

wait wut?

I loved the 300 in my old ford. The traffic waiting behind me on on-ramps didn't.

But put it in low gear and that sonambitch would pull the drain plug out of the Atlantic.

^^^ except for a four cylinder boxer

definitely not doing much/anything to it powerwise for a while..still got race cars to finish. I will throw on a toolbox, tint the front windows and add boost/pryo/trans temp gauges before too long.

or you could just leave it alone and drive it

Hate to call you out Keith but WRONG.

Straight six, when speaking in terms of power pulses, is inherently better dynamically balanced; 6 neither divides evenly into nor is it evenly divided by the number of strokes in the Otto Cycle. The only bad thing is that long crank means lower resonant frequency.

thats what my "wait wut" reasoning was for

im glad my jeep is an '06. it still has the 4.0 straight six. i hate the fact that they replaced them when they designed the JK

4/28/2009 4:08:33 PM

bout the only thing the 4.0/4.2 is good for is a boat anchor, you've got about 60whp in 4wd

5/1/2009 8:52:02 AM

^ Wat?

They have plenty of power for what it is. The 4.0/4.2 is a great engine IMO. Decent torque, and power.

yea traded in my 150k zj just because i didnt need 3 drivable vehicles(and 1 not drivable). never gave an ounce of trouble and I would have driven it at least another 50k.

changed the oil and put on a waterpump as a maintenance item before it started weeping

5/1/2009 10:19:14 PM

what do you consider trouble? the whole thing falling apart or leaving you on the side of the road?
