Best Engine Year for a 91’?
Contemplating a reman engine & a Novak Ax15 transmission for my 91’.
Based in some research it looks like a 98’ is a good year engine.
If I am swapping both engine and AX15 on my 91’... what would I have to consider for the swap?
96’ dana 30 front, 88’ dana 44 in the rear. Currently has an AX15.
As for the engine. Found Fraser out of MI. $1,878 for a full five year, no fault 5 year unlimited mile warranty. I called ATK. And will call Jasper too.
Any recommendations there?

91 through 99 is just fine.

Girdles do strengthen the bottom end, a 4.0 may not have an issue with out one, but there is a reason performance engine builder's use them.

But doesn't apply here. Maybe on a Chevy small block forum...........
OP doesn't need to be sent on a wild goose chase for nothing,
especially stuff that applies to Chevies and Fords.

Thanks for the info. Looks like from reading that the 91’ - 95’ were the best engines. Just going for another 91’ I think.
