i was browsing around and found this http://www.suzukiconversion.com/V8-samurai.htm they also now have tracker conversions which loook SICK....expensive...but sick lol
The reviews of the Lightning conversions I've seen on this and other forums aren't positive. Waste of money and a lot of troubles from what everyone seems to say.
I'm with fgials on this, regear. My Ranger came with the big V6 but when I purchased it the thing had 3.27 gears and 31" tires. I had it regeared to 4.56 gears and put on 33's and man, what a difference. More power, more mpg, I can pass, all around great! More power is always a plus but if you don't have the right gears for your tires you're just wasting money and power.
