Actually.. If you use a LS series chevy motor froma pick up, 4.8 or 5.3, you will actually improve millage over the stock 6 cyl drive train. not sure about the 4cyl. A friend has qualified for KOH and we are taking out the TPI 350 from his buggy and swapping in a LQ9.. he is estimating that it will get better milage.

I understand.. Don't get me wrong, it is a swappable engine and if you want it to function as it was intended to, then the best thing to do is swap all the electronics with it. From what i was told, the instrument cluster will also have to be swapped over due to it's communications thru the PCM inputs.That in itself made every aspect of a simple swap go really complicated. Just not worth the hassle in my opinion. I turned down a deal with a 4X4 durango Hemi for only $800.00 with under 30,000 miles on it for that reason.
