parting out a 1982 pickup DLX with a 1989 3L (2.8 litre) diesel engine with turbo (CT20 from 2LTE) and top mount intercooler (intercooler does not fit under standard hood). transmission is on its way out. 5th gear is making horrible noises (i think it may be 5th gear idler bearings), and the u-joints are giving it up. got a new truck lined up, and this one is getting too rusty and high in miles to dump any more $ into.
i can supply almost everything needed to swap this engine into a 22R powered truck (this is a 2WD truck, a 4WD oilpan will be needed for a 4WD swap). engine has ~150,000 miles with about 25,000 left until next timing belt and valvetrain service. 10psi boost, runs cool, runs well, oil consumption is about 1/2 litre between 3,000mi intervals. motor mounts, clutch, flywheel, and bell-housing bolt pattern are all the same as 22R. gets ~30+ mpg and has tons of low end torque. religiously maintained, have all receipts.
this engine has a 2LT harmonic balancer, so that the 2LT alternator/vacuum pump is used, which is available domestically. no p/s or a/c, although i do have the original 3L p/s pump, alternator, and a/c compressor, but no harmonic balancer for 3L.
although the transmission is on its way out, it is still needed for the swap because the clutch slave cylinder is on the opposite side of the gas transmission. this is an L50 5 speed redone by marlin crawler with a G54 gearset (lower first, taller fifth) and bigger bearings (2WD, no transfer but can be added), so it is still worth repairing.
i also have a 2LT injector pump with a matching set of injectors all rebuilt with ~25,000 miles on them. this can be swapped out for the 3L pump and injectors. the 2LT pump has boost compensation (aneroid) while the 3L does not. also have a spare rebuilt CT20 turbo with less than 25,000mi. and a new-in-box stainless oil plumbing kit for CT20.
engine, transmission, above spares, along with any and all parts associated with a swap (glow plug relay, fuel filter housing, wiring, even the fuel tank, if you need it, etc.)
all for $3,000 obo + shipping. located in MD, usa. $2,700 obo if you come and pick up. or take the whole truck and part it out one's self, as-is where-is $2,200.
also have other various 1982 pickup parts for sale. doors, tail light assy., oem marker lights, grille, etc.
