Wrong.  the motor is WAY too heavy for that.
The crummydore V6 has the similar power and torque figures as a 4AGZE. V6 - 127kw, 288Nm 4AGZE - 125kw, 210Nm The reason I make this comparison is because the 4AGZE weighs about 50kgs less and is half the size!! Don't do it. |

That's abysmal when you've got 3.8 litres to work with! I guess it is old tech though... The 3800 must be pre-ecotech, right? I was sure they weren't that weak.

Still way too heavy for a zook. I know because I've done the conversion. Great rockcrawler. useless for EVERYTHING else. except Mud drags
No chance of driving it on the road either.

as in, out of a tornado/typhoon??? ive often wondered how a zuk would go with one of those under the bonnet... thats surely gotta twist the chassis, nearly 6 times the torque that the sierra motor puts out... |

Lol yeah Tornado. Had a 350rwkw 6 speed manual from the old ute. Would have been a heap of fun in a car half the weight. If I still had it I would of put it in for sure regardless of the weight distribution. Maybe I can work out a way of shoe hornin my current 550hp Boss motor in it.... |
