Topic: Puttin a jeep 4.0 in a toyota

[furrballs95]

i have been contemplating about putting a jeep 4.0 in my toyota i have herd that it can be done i was just wondering if anyone else had more information or knows someone that did it.

this could be a good thing,  i think you need the jeep to ax5 bell and a r151  tranny,  or just use the ax5  if there is a ax5 to toy case adapter

look on pirate in the list of favorite toyotas on the last or second to last page and there is a truck there with one and a link to an entire build up thread

He's a buddy of mine.  A ton of work but looks like it will be worth it in the end.

itd be the ax15, the ax5 was the 4 cyl variation, that has a cast iron mid plate, smaller imput shaft with less splines,

the AX5 is essentially a G52, kind of like the AX15 is an R150F with an american style input.

the heep 4.0 is a good engine, if you can wedge it in your toy, do yourself a favor and buy one of those spiffy new aluminum heads.  it'll cut a ton of weight out of it, and give you more power

thats a good idea, when i built my stroker, i ported and polished my stock HO head w/ casting number 7120 (a true HO head) put it on the flow bench, and it flowed more than the aluminum head on all ports according to Hesco's numbers on their Alum jeep head flow....either way, if i had the cash...id get the aluminum w/ the 2.02/1.60 valves, and then port the out of it to get the best you can get.....jsut ran out of money for now

that xota build on jeepin is cool...but in all reality please look at the front clip he built...the while front end of the truck is held on by simple butt welds....which is definitely NOT strong enough to be beat to hell n back on the trail...i wouldnt even think of drivin it on the street...and all the plating he did weakened the steel that is already not reinforced..even weaker.....and y waste alll that time to put a different motor in and find wiring, computer(s), sensors, all the goodies.....wire it all....figure out the problems...it'd be at least a year long project n a ton of money...if anything run a carbed motor=NO WIRING....just my thoughts....i mean if i was buildin somethin goofy id just use a ferrari motor...but hey....by the time u get a ridiculous project like that done...u wont have any money to buy tires!!!
