    If you are going to go through the trouble of an engine swap the 4.0 wouldn't even make the list for possible engine choices.

    I hear Ya, if money and time and ability were no obstacle, however, I am thinking cost, ease of adaptability and performance per dollar the 4.0 would be my first engine to research.

    ehhhhhhhhhh, why though, might as well keep the 3.5. I'd probably look at a toyota 4.6 or 5.7 to start

    The 2014, and 2015 4.0's with TRD superchargers put out about 320lbs of torque. I was thinking, the 4.0 would be the simplest motor to swap out? I could be wrong for sure. Just thinking out loud...

    All that time, energy and money and you go 4 liter?

    That's a no from me dog.

    4.7, LS, any small V8 are all far better dream options.

    I was thinking the 3.4 to the 4.0 would be a take Friday off and drive it to work Monday morning project. If I was replacing the 3.4, if, then I would look into the 4.0 with the supercharger.

    Nice man. Glad it worked out for you. I'd push to try and get a long block with Corp? Can't hurt but I'm sure you're just happy to get it covered as I know I would be.

    Look, I am a mere Lt. while you are a Captain. Don't let the musings of an underling slow your roll.
