Another engine Swap!!!

well.....since I decided to build up my 400" and now the cost of the gas increased about 125% ......Also wheeling places are at least 300 miles from where I live......so I found something interesting and allready made an offer on it.....

is a 2004 Ford 6 cylinder MWM 4.2L turbodiesel intercooler engine with 180hp.....and this engine came with the ZF5 I have in my bronco so is almost a bolt in.....The fuel economy with this engine is about 18MPG in city/off road.....This engine runs with any kind of diesel without injectors or pump problems and has no ellectronic at all!!

Until 2005 Ford used this 6 cylinder engines and tha cummins 4BT with 140Hp.....LAter on they discontinued both engines and replaced them with another 4 cylinder cummins with electronic injection and 205HP

I allways wanted this engine but I couldn`t find a used one for sale in good shape until now.....If you want to buy this engine NEW in a store you will need al least u$s17000.- ..I got a good deal on this one used and paid u$s4000.- for it.....but I will get much more for my 400"....

I think I`ll have the engine next saturday.....

I think they'd have to be. Any longer and it'd hit the radiator. I imagine it even uses the same perches.
