incompatibilities
The V8 engine is not compatible with the V6 transmission and the V6 engine is not compatible with the V8 transmission. That means both engine/transmission pairs would have to be swapped. However, the 2WD transmission is not compatible with the 4WD transfer case.
I suggest that you sell your 95 4WD V6 and purchase a 96 or later 4WD V8. They are readily available and that way you will have the later OBD diagnostics. Your 96 2WD V8 is not that common, has a robust drivetrain, and will get decent gas mileage if you drive it like it only had a 150 hp V6. __________________ My Helpful Threads, Registry, 16.4/23 mpg, 3900 lbs, 5R55E, 3.73:1, 175 rwhp, Henson custom tune, CAI, Spectre air filter, Lightning 90mm MAF, 75mm throttle body, A/F ratio meter, synthetic oils, Accusump, 2 row radiator, 3+1 leaf springs, .75 inch drop, Edelbrock IAS lowering shocks, engine oil & ATF temp gauge & remote filters & coolers, remote crank |
