OK, this may sound nuts, but I have a 502 Ramjet crate motor sittin in my shop doing nothing but collecting dust. I'm considering swaping this in my 94. I have the complete cooling and fuel systems that will work. Thinking of a built 700r or 4l80e trans and a marks adapter. I already have headers that will fit and can fab the rest of the exhaust. The gas milage will probally be about the same if I stay off the skiny. Since this engine is injected is does pretty good on gas. No worse than the under-powered 6 thats in it. The only worry is 510hp and axles with 37s. Guess Longfields are a must! I have everything to do the swap except the adapter and trans. What do ya think? Too much?
 
You will probably break stuff with that much torque but it would be a helluva lot of fun doing so!
 
I hear ya. I had this engine in a buggy I built a while back. Awesome power when you want it. I ran it in Moab on 12 gallons a day of non-stop wheelin so mileage is not bad. I think the axles will hold if upgraded and not abused. If not, theres always D-60s.

That guy should get rid of one of those turbo's. I would be happy to take it off his hands to help him out:D
