[BFix] replacing 170 with a 200? 4.0??

[Erik Christensen]

Great, compact torquey little motor. NOT SBF bellhousing, though there is an adapter available. in a vehicle as heavy as the EB, it will NOT be more economical than a 5.0L.

  why not go 4.0 explorer motor? I heard it's the SBF bolt pattern so it should be the same as a 5.0 conversion but a lot lighter and a lot more economical! I thought of it before I built the 302!

    I have been told that a 200 is a decent improvement from the 170. I have the opportunity to buy one cheap, my question is was will it take to  convert? the 200 is an auto ant the 170 is 3spd. I'm stil gathering parts for the 351 upgrade but if this is quik and cheap enough it'll work until my daughter gets out of college.

    Thanks,

    Tim
