Different kind of engine swaps

For reference the 4.0 weighs in about 515lbs and the 2.5 weighs in about 340lbs. I've heard you can get an LS1 down to between 350-400lbs.
 
I wish Saab motors weren't so hard to run standalone. The ecotecs are based off them and all the Saab versions are turbo. They are/were :frowny: manufactured to a higher standard than the gm version. My 9-3 vector will scoot and lay down respectable mpgs
 
Im doing a 3rz swap currently in my zuk... Im excited to see how it turns out... LCE makes some pushing like 500hp and more.. plus they are availiable with a factory super charger... pretty sweet little motors... almost no support for swaping this engine unless you are putting them into a toyota truck.. No tech online what so ever...

Thought you said turbo motors were dumb for a trailrig :flipoff2:

They're have been some pretty decent gains i've seen to these motors and the torque curve is pretty flat which should be beneficial to a rock rig. I'm in the middle of scrolling through a turbo build of the l61, seems pretty easy to do and stand alone for these motors isn't that bad.
 
Bc I would make reliability an issue, but for a motor designed to be turbo from the getgo....well that's just cool
