Right on TJ, I know where you have been surfing today, and that would have to be naxja, I saw the same thread. I have already talked to a friend with an SS Commodore with the LS1 motor and told him that when he writes it off one day, make sure the motor is OK
It would make a sweet swap, hearing that sort of sound coming from an XJ deep in Rallywoods

Oh well, V8 is a V8 - bored or not. I wouldn't mind either way
dont get me wrong here, the 383 is the engine of choice ! ! if i could afford to i would build one !
If you already know everything, DON'T ask bloody questions!!

Don't worry mate, I am not a huge fan of Chevy's - more want a Mopar Hemi (if I can get my hands one). It will come someday - now if I can get the 426 Elephant in a TJ - now that would be a killer machine.

hey wopass 426 easily eats any 440 ,once above 100-120 ks the 426 will dissapear into the sunset, plus you can take them to 528 cu,but for a mopar man like me im building a 413 max wedge for my hearse, will out torque both of them ,but mine will be inj so slightly economical 10-17mpg but until i get a push button big block auto this is staying there
had quite a bit of work to improve hp and torque hopefully about 180hp with a 2 bbl carter,
