sunstealth Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'll be asking for pictures later but to make it short, A guy from the dad's group I'm a part of had his 2010 sxt 3.5 snap the timing belt. A replacement 3.5 was unreal price wise 1700$ uninstalled with over 150k kilomètres on it. After a bit of research to be sure I was not wrong, it was determined the 3.5 and 4.0L shares the same block and bellhousing bolt pattern. He then bought a 4.0L from a 2010 caravan with 96 k kilomètres for 900$ uninstalled. Everything installed with parts scavenging the 3.5 he is at 1500$ into the project and he gained over 30 go and 20 something pound of torque iirc. To my knowledge it is the first 4.0L swaped journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Welcome to site. Great first post. Lots more caravans on the road compared to journeys so donor vehicles should be plentiful. People fixate on displacement for easy swaps. It’s map versus maf emissions set up, or integrated exhaust manifold in cylinder head (Journey) versus separate manifold; that can create issues. People blow up the 3.5’s when not changing belt, so maybe more demand for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunstealth Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yeah to explain it shortly he used the 4.0L as a short block and all 3.5 accessories where bolted to it along with a cold air intake and a cat converter delete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
