Hello!
I have a pristine 1987 short bed 4x4, and I want to do this conversion/ swap to it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B34LTUqdgHoHas anyone done this conversion yet?
i will be researching the parts i need and looking for a good engine/doner vehicle over the next year before executing the build.
just wondering how many parts i can get off the shelf for this project and how much will need to be fabricated-custom. In the video you see a lot of custom work for the cross-member and the motor mounts. as well as mounting the radiator and inner-cooler (but that is way simple by comparison)
I am planning on buying an "in-bed toolbox-fuel tank all in one" to deal with deleting the saddle tanks.
i know they make an adapter for the engine to a 700R4 transmission.
other than that, i have no idea what to do with fitment, wiring, turbo etc etc etc LOL
thoughts?
