Was just joking around with the idea of what to do with my spare built GMC Syclone/Typhoon 4.3L V6 Turbo motor and step dad made a joke about putting it in my Cherokee..
Has anyone put a Chevy 4.3L V6 into an XJ? I've seen SBC's I know.. also I know for sure this engine will put out at least 400HP no problem if not closer to 500HP with the turbocharger I have.
Jeep is my daily driver so does anyone know if the stock XJ components (transfer case/axles/etc) can handle this? Gas mileage really isn't an issue as I get around 20mpg off my other similar motor in the Typhoon (which I'm assuming weighs about the same (4300lb).
If its a big hassle I might as well put it in a 79' Camaro I bought over the winter that only sports a 130HP Straight 6.
Its just an idea right now.. Comments?
