rocksteady Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hi all, As per the title, I am in the market for a new engine for my lse. After rolling this around my head for a while, I have come to the conclusion that a turner 4.6 with gas flowed heads and a cam would fit my needs. Not cheep, but good rep and should give me what I want. The question is, what are the other alternatives for this kind of money. The truck is used as an overlander / camper, and as a fun truck. I intend to keep it for the forseable future, hense time to spend good money on something good. All imput will be greatly receved. I also have in mind to put ashcroft lockers in, and as I run 35in tyres, I need to change the ratio in the diff. I think there is someone on here that might be able to help with that. Thanks for any advice Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocksteady Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 A J.E. 4.6 would be just the job. P.m. sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iomlt Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I would keep or replace the 4.2 with a good or rebuilt 4.2. If you want some extra go the intended would suggest megasquirt system. The improvement to my 3.9 with it fitted was very noticeable. I have Brookland edition lse all black that I should do something with it as I find it difficult to brake her for the engine and box as she has done less than 65k. Very savable. Lse is a awesome truck I'd be leaving it more-a-less factory with useabke upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g&t Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 GMC V8 Diesel Something of a marmite choice I'm led to believe, had a couple of friends in Belgium who ran ex. USAF Chev Blazers & loved them but have also read horror stories about GMC reliability as well. Very heavy lump to sit on the front end of a RRC too but they have a sound track to die for!

ratmanrover Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What about a 5.7L chevy?? :D mate back in the late 1980's had an overfinch 90. Bu@@er that was quick, problem is it ate clutches and he didn't want to auto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iomlt Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 purchase my lse I have here with 62k on it. She's Black fairly solid, new rad, you'd have a full set of spares then. Engine good be ran on gas for years. Brooklands edition. It's a option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
