The tank, you can make the 4 door tank fit in a 2 door. All you have to do is remount it.

You've actually done this? I measured up the SWB and LWB frames and the LWB is about 2" wider where the tank sits. I didn't think the 4 door tank would fit. Dave Jones tried this too.

yeah
dave did try this and the tank would not fit

8v:
Horsepower (SAE net): 80 hp |removethispart|@ 5400 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 94 lb.-ft. |removethispart|@ 3300 rpm

16v:
Horsepower (SAE net): 95 hp |removethispart|@ 5600 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 98 lb.-ft. |removethispart|@ 4000 rpm

i run at about 5600 on the floor so that will be great.  mabey i can get some more wheel speed now.

Hmm 15 hp not a big jump has anyone drove a 8v with all the bolt ons compared to a stock 16V?

I have an 8V 89 Kick with the header and exhaust. With over 200K It still chugs great on the trail. I can lug it dow to low RPM's easily while riding and not Kill the engine.  My 16V X-90 and 2wd tracker are alot better on the interstate, but I kill the motor everytime I try to chug it down the trail. It my just be me, but I like the 8v better for trail riding.

Yeah i heard alot of people saying its better in the trail and stuff and for low end i might just get the cam and some new rings and rebuild it.

But for gas millage whats a better motor?

 Yes, I have tried the 4 door tank in a 2 door. It fits. Yes I am trying to put a 4 door tank in a lwb sammy....gonna make it work.
I've been driving a 95 4 door around, including low speed wheeling, for about a month and a half now. It lugs just fine and has plenty of power for the freeway. With a bad TPS, that is unplugged, it still gets 25 mpg on the freeway and about the same in town.
My lwb has a built 8v 1.6 in it, the 16v I think still does a better job lugging. Just my opinion.

Hey guys in a debate.


Ive been pricing it out to rebuild the 1.6 8Valve like over sized pistons, port the head a bit and all new seals and oil pump. it will cost me about the same to buy a 1.6 16valve and swap it in whats a better idea?
