Hi, I just bought a comanche with a gm 2.8 liter v6. I live in an area with alot of steep hills and needless to say, I just can't drive it because of that. I HAVE to swap this crappy engine out for something better. So what are my options here? Does the 4.0 HO swap in easily? what about a 350 chevy swap? http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/xj_swap.htm there is some good information here on that kind of swap.
Also, If i do the v8 swap, instead of stopping at the transmission, could I just use the entire drivetrain of the chevy setup (350, th350, np205, driveshaft, corporate 14 bolt)? Any help would be appreciated.
