Years? Well I have a line on a 91 and a 97. The 97 is a 3.9 come to find out. It's reportedly got 150k on it and currently runs and drives. The other is a 318, runs and drives, has 133k on it, but needs an alternator by the sound of it. The V6 would probably work fine in my Scout 2, since the older 360 I currently have in there is likely about the same power. And if it didn't work out, slipping a magnum V8 in wouldn't be that hard. The 318 would be going into my old TravelAll 4wd.

I started down this road while pricing out a 700R4 conversion for the TravelAll. The kit costs $600 just to bolt it to my IH motor. This truck is my DD right now and also serves as the family camping and exploring rig. So I'd like to be able to get down the road at better than 65. And since I'm NOT a Chevy guy, an LS or Vortec swap is a distant possibly.
