Hi guys.
I'm new to the 40 section and swaps in general. My brother in law might be getting a 40 soon and asked me which motor he should go with. It will be a mixed use vehicle in Montana with about 40% off-road/trails and 60% daily driving.
The main aim is a reliable vehicle with fuel injection that can drive in the mountains without downshifting all the time.
Will the smaller motor give better fuel consumption if coupled to the cruiser 4spd and maybe 31"s or 33"s with a small lift?(all things being equal)
Or should we just go with the age old tradition of bigger is better?
Thanks for your votes and opinions,and don't feel bad to tell me i'm being stupid,i need that sometimes.
