engine swaps
looking to upgrade power output of the 2.5 in my 1999. Everybody swaps in 5.0 or 4.6. I was wondering if anybody knows of any sites that deal with maxing out the power of the 2.5. I think I should be able to squeeze a lot more than 70 horsepower out ot this engine. Thanks in advance.

If you wanted a truck with a 4.0L you should have bought a truck with a 4.0L
