heheh... yeah, it's quite a bit smaller than the 360 that was in the Dodge... But, it gets like 38mpg so I aint complaining... besides, it's the Iron Duke motor... very strong and tough motor.. and should be plenty for what I need..

that dosent look that bad compared to the motor swap we did on a Jeep cherokee

the jeep had the Rennix motor, which has a completly different - and i mean nothing the same - wiring setup than the OBDI motor out of a 94 we dropped in place

It's not the same one.. I picked this one up from a guy for $200.. it's a 91, and I have found that the injector is different, so the plug dont match up, and the intake is different, wont bolt to this head, so that means the throttle cable needs replaced.. and this one didnt have power steering but my truck does.. and this motor was in a truck with power brakes, and I dont have power brakes... but overall, it isnt too bad of a project really... Just wish I had more time to devote to it...

Naaa, I'll stick with my standard brakes... less to go wrong... works great, I know how to handle them, and have more control over them... This is WAY better than puttin power brakes on believe me... The power brake booster is alright, until it goes out.. then she dont like to stop... btw, you ever gunna fix that dang truck of yours?
