i have my 61 uni with a cv swap I built a 5.0 with aluminum heads full roller 600 lift ford racing cam steel crank forged pistons polished intake a fabricated valve covers well a I can purchase a low milage 4bt with a ford small block adapter on it with flywheel I was thinking my m5 od on it tell me what y'all think plz
I prefer my 1/2 tons to be long-legged and my Jeeps to be torquey.
In fact I'd start another Jeep build tomorrow if I had my hands on that 4BT you mentioned.
Definitely go with the 5.0.

I think that 4bt would be kinda heavy for the cv suspension, Id go with the 5.0 but I like my small block fords, Im doing a roller 351w in my 63 uni. Ive done a 408 stroker with efi that puts down 462hp and is pretty mild its in one of my mustangs I would love to put that in my 63 uni. But do what makes ya happy and what you like to mess with whatever it will be cool.

I would have to agree with you but he could do bags over the springs to help it out... At one point I will be doing a CV front end so I can get rid of the BS I beams...ugh. I want my mustang drive train in my truck! I think it will/would be alot of fun!

The crown vic is coil spring so don't think bags would help, I mean if hes doing the 03 up CV swap the main part of it is aluminum so would think there would be a lot of stress on it also the rod ends and ball joints but who knows. Can always put heavier coil springs in it.
