Now that my Clifford 4.9 Stroker is almost finished, I am already thinking ahead. I am going to play around with the 4.9 for a little while, but I am already thinking about dropping in a LS6 with a L60E (or similar automatic) behind it. The 4.9 should make around 300 hp. I will get some pictures and results from the engine dyno. I figure the engine is good for between 12 and 15 mpg. Rather lame for the hp. The LS6 is good for about 500 hp and more like 15 - 20 mpg (maybe a little less).
The thought on this is simple, I would rather have more hp and better mpg. I know it is more work dropping the LS6 into the XJ, but the 4.9 was a bit of a pain building. There is so much more support for GM LS series of engines.
Does anyone have any input on this?
Let me know.
