Low-compression 4.6 from P38 RR?
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:48 pm
All,
If I can find a low-compression 4.6 v8 from a p38 RR (I have found out this was an option), is it a direct bolt-in in place of the 4.0 in the '01 D2? They had different fuel injection, didn't they? Will the D2's injection bolt on?
I am thinking about this as the diesel conversion keeps being out of my grasp. If I put in the low-compression 4.6 I can use regular gas, I assume the extra displacement would make up for the compression loss, and also not tear apart the 4.0's transmission.
Thanks,
