[QUOTE="PORTER, post: 813828, member: 15961"] This is how I come up with my decision. A 4 cylinder works very well when you have to crawl a line, BUT when you need brute wheelspeed to blast up a steep muddy hill it just dont cut it, because of all the gearing a 4 cylinder needs because the lack of HP/Torque. Wheelspeed just doesnt happen. Now you add bigger tires,Toy axles,cage,Tube, bigger powerplant, trans, t-case(s),spare tire, and all your wheeling gear and you will be in the 2800-3000lb range. This is where the extra power and torque is very nice to have. I have done the 4 cylinder, V8,and now V6 thing, so I have been there done that so take my opinion for whats it worth. Oh and crash my buddy has a 4.3 in his sami and they fit rather well, but I will give the 4 banger one thing, they do take up less space. Good luck marc on your decision.:beer: [/QUOTE]
