86 l200 4g64T Project starting.

[pullmyleg]

Here is the piece of sh*t l200 just before it is off to the panel shop.

Im in NZ and a mates dad is doing the full overhaul, rust removal, custom lightweight tray and a nice new white paint job. getting heaps shaven etc to like door locks. should look pretty tidy and will be done end of next week hopefully...







Currently sourcing a DOHC head + Loom, have found a 4g64 block, but need to go check it out before purchase.

Going to run a T3/T4 Turbo setup, aiming for at least 450hp.

Will take more photos and post as i go, will try write up a guide at the same time for anyone else wanting to do the conversion.

And ofcourse to mention how awesome this website it for the extra details i needed.

Cool truck. That is a LOT of power for that truck. Are you going tub the bed in order to fit some massive stickies?

Possibly, but not until further down the track. I like the idea of loss of traction, but the idea of not moving does worry me a bit.

Using a evo4 head.. 98 4g64 block..

Funny enough today i was at a meeting for a network set up im doing for a tyre distributor. He said if the job all goes smoothly on tuesday he is going to throw me a pair of brand 10inch slicks for free. worth $300 ea. What an incentive! haha.

Hey mate, I'm nearly done now. I'll post dn update and new pics asap. I didn't end up using the 4g64 as it as a pain. Got a station block with a 2.3 stoker kit. Evo 3 head. If your not very experienced it is a big job. Easiest thing to do would be get a starion engine, bolt it in and get it wired up by someone.
