So this was supposed to be my daily driver, not a projects truck!
But the head went, then the clutch, then issues with the carb. After all the repairs it runs but I've had enough of gas powered trucks (again). So a diesel is going in.
Picked it up, has had a lot of work already done:
Injection pump rebuilt by a shop.
Turbo replaced with new one.
It runs clean and well, unknown kilometers, 5 speed, seems a little sluggish but I think there are linkage issues and it hasn't been set up right.
The donor truck is Frankenstein at best. The wiring has been butchered, the engine has been spliced into it from who knows where, this used to be a v6 truck (engine mounts where relocated), stuff has been patched and spliced to make it work.
Lucky for me the 2L-T is a direct bolt on to the 22R and 22RE mounts, and require very little for wiring, so the swap should not require too many parts.
I likely need a clutch though.
So over the new few weeks I'll be doing this.
And this is the questionable donor truck, the frame is beyond gone but the body is surprisingly solid.
The body and my gas drivetrain is being sold in case anyone is interested.
