I have in my possession the skill, tools, and time to repower montee.
she is a gen 1 with the almighty , but lac-luster 6g73.
a fine enine but too modest to really bark.
and the godawful and dead nuts reliable asain transmission is a dream except what little power the feeble 6 puts out is consumed by this monster.
it is the principle hinderacne between a 17 mpg montee and a 27 mpg montee.
that trans consumes 40 hp right off the top.
so for years now I have dither ed and fussed about a repower.
I have come to my conclusion.
starting at the transfer case which is a rubicon 241, -a must have, I tried various engine trans combos that would make the grade.
my final decision , based on all factors, but most importantly the transfer case equation ,
is to repower with a 3.9 mopar v6 magnum with sequential fuel injection, a 4 speed auto trans, and of course the rubicon.
incredibly cheap, plentiful, power is no problem , a wide number of transmission choices, and a wide and beaten path by others makes this a cannot fail project.
