Hello,
I am going to do a complete Morana build on this engine, as well as various suspension and drivetrain modifications that I will make other threads for in their corresponding places. Reliable performance is the theme to this build. I am aware that I may save time money and hassle by just swapping in a V8, but I want this truck to be the best it can be with an OEM block. Everything will be assembled by me and according to Tom's expected gains, finished, the engine should yield around 500 ft lbs and ~400hp maybe a little less(with a M112 SC). However I don't know s*** about tuning. Reliability being key everything must be submergable. I can build it but what I want to hear from you is precautions I should take with the electrical systems to resist water, what I should do about the PCM, and this may be the wrong forum but I have had no luck finding a company that makes a manual transmission that will "bolt on" this build's expected completion date is 2024. So no rush I'm going to do a frame off restoration, new interior, wire harnesses, lines, bolts even, and powder coat everything for rust prevention. I can post a list of parts if requested but it is basically everything tom Morana makes for the 4.0 V6
