Hey, so I got a sort of random question. So my 4.0 violently blew an oil gasket the other day, rendering my truck undrivable. And there is big talk between my dad and I of either taking the motor out and replacing the gaskets and give the engine an overhaul while it’s out or straight up replace it, and I was thinking…how difficult would it be to stick a smaller motor like a 2.8 4cyl in it? Would there be any pieces of the engine bay I would have to convert like the engine mounts of something? Or like, anything drastic?
