You would have to adapt LBZ parts to it. Machine the heads for LBZ injectors, and make sure the reluctor is 58 tooth.

Nothing but a curiousity. But it SHOULD bolt right into the Colorado, since it now comes with a V8 option.

I like how the guy thinks it fits an '08 or '09.

Sure, a 2008 Henway, or a 2009 Peter4.

A year ago I probably would have bought it just to tear it apart to look at it.

I took a New Year's Resolution not buy anything that serves no purpose. So no 4.5L Dmaxes, no Fords, and no Dodges... ;)

Whoa, that was the engine I was gonna buy til I realized it was a 4.5L. Pretty much all the guy knows about it is thanks to me.

cut it up and eat it for dinner. :D


no but seriously, id just take it apart and really make detailed notes about everything, the balance shaft setup it has, piston design etc..

You would probably figure out a way to make it run you fool. :spit::D:thumb:

I could probably just %*#)@! rig up a bunch of these in parallel, that would probably be enough computing power to at least get it to idle. :D
