What he said. Plus a 4.0 is WAY faster. Why would you want 300hp when you can have 140?

I'm going 302 ho. Already have a 57k mile motor fo free. With aluminum heads it's almost 100lbs lighter than a 4.0. Too bad it will never make as much power or last as long.



Oh, to the op, do it. Just not with that guy's motor. $400 is a rip off unless it has some motor work.
