I was wondering if anyone on this board had done a 4.0short to 4.6short low end conversion? From the research I have done and the opinions from this forum I have concluded that this is the cheapest,easiest, and most reliable form of power upgrade. From a mechanical standpoint is it as easy as it seems? What gremlins hide inside? Any chipping issues? Thanks, and sorry if I am rehashing an old topic.

Did you see the thread below about the 4.6 swap into the Classic. Same idea, but it would be much easier in your rig. You can re-use everything from the top side of your engine. Other expense would be the re-chip. Check out the links.

I did happen to drive behind a '87 RRC with a stage 1 3.9 engine from RPI couple of weeks ago. And let me tell you it kicked ass! |

I have been in contact with RPI for a week now. The "Low end conversion kit" is not available due to the crank being unavailable. They do sell the block with all componants for 1450lbs. which converts to about $2300. Not a bad price but I was hoping to reuse my block since I have used Mobile 1 from day 1 and it only has 35000 miles. Oh well I probably won't go that route but if the kit they offer becomes available again I'm gonna jump on it.
