I get better mileage with that V8 then the stock 4 cylinder. I was able to convert to automatic for daily driving duties. I was able to simplify and lower the cost of regular maintenance. I can now make my winter trips to colorado with out having to pull on the shoulder to climb mild hills. I am still 4wd so it's still a fine year round beater. The cost to do the full conversion cost less then the replacement value of the Jeep (it was worthless with a blown tranny). The cost of the engine/tranny/ecu/accessories was only 2k.
I built it for a purpose.
I patiently wait your absolutely pathetic attempt to back me in a corner.
