If you could throw any engine in your EX, what would it be?

I'm leaning on a Cummins 24V, or a 7.3.

Since the engine is out already, a properly built 6.0 PSD from @run6.0run and Julie's shop outside Kansas City.

552 cid big block Ford with the 5.4 harness, cops injectors TB and sensors etc.

If only I could find the trans adapter my 552 with CJ heads would already be in one of my excursions. 700 hp fuel eating monster.

Same as it has now, 2V V-10, it's the right engine for me and my use. Maybe if I'm dreaming, a 3V V-10 with the 6 speed auto.

Cummins... in my mind the best combination is a Ford truck with a cummins motor. Imagine how awesome the excursion and superduty line would have been with an inline diesel? I love my international, but it's a boat anchor compared to a cummins.
