Yeah to much for my wallet
Tier 3 is rated at 143 hp and 411 lb/ft. Tier 4 engines are rated at 200 hp and 610 lb/ft. If you find a used genset the prices range from $2k to $6k. Some units I've seen have only a few hours run time. The motor is less than 25 inches long with a similar weight as a 4BT.Yeah to much for my wallet
Cat rates the c4.4 at 411ft-lbs is there a different version that puts out more? Still impressive regardless. Cat makes good engines. Also how much do those cost?
Sounds like an awesome swap option. How is the aftermarket support for it? Also, is there available trans adapters etc, or would they need to be built? Adapters are hard to build, but having available aftermarket support is really nice. That sounds like a very viable option. I'd definitely consider that.
Trans adapters are available, it has an SAE #3 housing attached. Aftermarket bellhousings are available as well as some factory transmissions since the duramax 6.6 and ISB 170 have an SAE #3 housing. The duramax, the #3 housing is found on the bigger trucks like the topkick. If I had a 2nd gen explorer, it would be the engine I'd swap in.
I would love to have a 347 stroker with a hidden twin turbo kit underneath it and a built auto trans with fmr valve body and keep it awd with 90s cobra wheels
I want to see someone take a mid 90s obs 350, 351, or 383 shoved into an X. Those suckers all can put out some serious power! Especially that 383, dad gum that would be nice! Not sure of the dimensions on them in comparison to like the explorers 4.0s and 5.0, but I'm sure it would be a tight fit, wicked if and when done!
Going to keep trying to convince @Fix4Dirt to be the first on a 5.7l swap, after having one in the Rado, think he needs to try when his SOHC gets to that time in its life
406 be cool too but a 347 stroker would be factory fitting like a 5.0I want to see someone take a mid 90s obs 350, 351, or 383 shoved into an X. Those suckers all can put out some serious power!

There is another Sport that has an LS in it, a member friend(Eric) built it long ago, it's a medium blue 99 that had a 302 swapped into it before. That's probably one of the trucks you're referring to. Eric and I were members of the now long gone Explorer "X" forum, it was small but there was a ton of info on it about Saleen Explorers and some smaller swap stuff.
