I'm sure you would eyeball a 6.9 as first choice. More depends on intended use. A Cummins 4BT can do most driving duties, but a 6BT can make for some good thrust. You could also go oddball, and run a Detroit 4-53T.

A 4BT or 6BT, or 6CT can share the same transmissions. So, you could use a full setup off a Dodge on a 4BT. The 350hp thing would be spendy to pull off on a 4BT though.

Hi guys, the wife and I have spent the last couple of weekends shopping for a new car. We are contemplating the Ford Edge and the Dodge Journey. Does anybody have any insights on either as far as reliablity and value? John

Goodevening everyone!

Hope you had a good day.
Tomorrow I get to (learn) help my mechanic pull out & rebuild Olfthfuls engine & get all greasy!
Thank God I'm not a prissy, can't get grease under my nails kinda girl! Hell yah... WOOHOO! Let's get to work! I think I'm more worried about my back hurting afterward than anything else. LOL! I have to work tomorrow night at the store stocking, so I know my back's going to be sore either way. On the plus side...atleast it's not one of those newer "no room to work" in the engine compartment vehicles. Gotta love the old ones!
