My stock 4.0 SOHC has about 151,000 miles on it, and has had no major issues. I plan to take this engine to its very last mile, however I'd like to start planning ahead. I would love to put a v8 in when my 4.0 dies. I love the reliability of the 5.0 andtyne 4r70w. I have thought about everything from a turn key crate engine to buying a donor vehicle. I am open to ideas, but I'd like to keep the swap as straight forward as possible, keeping PATS, efi, obd-II, and as close to plug and play as possible. I also want to keep electronic shifted 4x4. My top priority is getting a very close to new or rebuilt engine and trans (automatic) for maximum longevity. So, what do you guys think?
Also, yes I do know how to use the search button, but haven't found quite what I'm looking for.
