I know the talk about a V8 pops up here every so often. But I figured I would add to the ramblings. I might have a line on an LS1 motor, and my Raider being a lighter truck doesn't really notice the lack of power from the 3.0. My 4dr Montero on the other hand, 31 inch tires and a loaded trailer definitely lets you know your engine is not up to the task on long grades. I was wondering if anyone knew of adapters, or companies that could make a bell housing from a Montero bolt to an LS1?


I figure the trans will hold the power, and I don't want to dump alot more money into a full trans and transfercase setup from another truck.
