Up ] Samurai Gears ] 2nd Transmission ] [ 5.0 Upgrade ]

After driving the Samurai for years with the massive power of the stock 1.3L motor, I decided it was time to upgrade.

I was able to get my hands on a 5.0L engine from a 1996 Ford Explorer and thought this would be a reasonable upgrade :-)

The 302 is a little larger than the stock Samurai motor, so I had to make some adjustments to make it all fit.
