im looking to get a 93-94 4x4 4.0 in the next month(hopefully). i was talking to my friend whose dad works for a ford dealer and he has 2 brand new 4.0 crate motors sitting in his garage. what im going to do is buy that engine a put it in the high milage 93-94. while i have the engine out of the truck and on a stand i want to do some work with it.
1-which cam should i go with? this is going to be my daily driver so i want a good idle. it is also a 4x4 so i want it to give me good low end to mid range torque.
2-i was planing on doing some head work. what all should be done? i was talking to a guy that built a 200+ hp nissan 2.1 v6 and he said that by keeping the intake ports rough and the exhaust ports smooth, the gas was able to burn better and it gave him better milage. is there any truth to that?
3-larger valves. i havent thought about this one alot but is it neccessary? what kind of work would be invovled to do this?
4-i would also like to portmatch the intakes, get a larger throttle body, larger mas air filter, cone filter intake, headers and exhaust.
what injectors will i have to use for this setup? 19#? what kind of milage will this get? this truck will most likely have 33" tires and 4.56 gears.
thanks for any input.
