2.9 intake on a 4.0?

[kunar]

take it easy on me guys, ive been a 2.9 guy for years. i got my first 4.0 and will be swapping it into my daily driver this spring. i've been thinking, it would be cool to use a 2.9 intake on a 4.0, and since they are pretty colsely related it may not be as far fetched as it sounds. anybody have any input? i would either be using an 87 upper intake (58mm TB) or a merkur scorpio upper intake but the lower could be 4.0 if it fit. just thinking out loud, dont bash me too bad

X2....just too different to fit or to make it worthwhile bothering.

i think the real question is: why would you want to fit an intake plenum designed to supply an engine with 37% less displacement?

i think performance could be a serious problem with this idea.
