    I did a search too, on ebay. One for approx $2100 or so.

    According to wikipedia there was also a twin turbo version of that engine producing some ungodly amount of HP. That one would prolly never fit, but the core was the same 4.0l.

    I saw that one too.

    But with fuel prices heading up an V8 it's kind of scary
    Dakar was just the begining.

    So far, every V8 truck or SUV I've seen with much more HP than our 215 has as bad as or better gas mileage than ours. I think the Olds may be a good option. It has 17C/25H rating. Add some more weight and it may drop by about 2ish.

    Maybe not with the stock turbo locations...

    I believe we're looking at no fewer than EIGHT in the above pic...

    The great Carroll Shelby was fond of that 4.0 as well. Check this peach out!
