DARKFLY said:why would any one want to get rid of there I-6 or there I-4? they are more capable of producing more torque than a v-8/v-6 would. after having a 4 banger in the 4runner and a 6 banger in the xj i would not have it any other way ( well mybe a supra I-6 in the 4runner?).
Oh my goodness
So if the XJ came with a GM (As in GENERAL MOTORS!!!) 60 degree, 2.8L V6, then it was never a real XJ to begin with???
Or would it then be Ok to swap something else in.......
So long as it's not one of those low HP and low torque, wimpy V8s that just can't compare to the 2.5L I4 and 4.0L I6?
I'm pretty happy with the 300HP and 400ft*lbs of torque my TPI 350 brings with it. Didn't know I shouldn't be.
There is one word that defines all things associated with engine power - displacement.
How ever much torque you can get from a smaller engine, with the same parameters, you'll get more from a bigger one.
Why oh why did I enter into this thread
