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

  I average 17 driving to work.  Mostly freeway but some weekend stop and go.  Maybe a tune up or some Lucas injector cleaner?

  I don't think it would be much more economical the a 5.0L. My 97 Explorer with a 4.0L got just over 14 mpg on a recent freeway trip. Pretty disappointing.

  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
