Swap 4g63 into 87 b2200

Post by Brucethepres1981 »

Anyone know what motor mounts to use when swapping a 4g63 into a b2200? Make new ones maybe? Will I need to cut the frame mounts off the truck or are they in a decent location? Has anyone ever done this swap? I have a fresh rebuilt 4g63 and a supra w58 is the only option for motor to trans mounts a bill hincher bellhousing? Or can I built or buya cheaper adaptor plate?

Is the B2200 the same chassis as the B2600... the one that had the 2.6L Mitsubishi enigne?

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

Well I know you can swap the 2600 motor in by using the 2600 motor mounts. But the 2600 is wideblock where as my motor is a narrowblock. I'm not sure if the narrow and wide have the same mounting or not. Do you?

I also kind of wanna keep the motor 3 inchs off the firewall because then my shifter will be in the same position as before.

Narrow and wideblook 4G6x mounts are the same, but 2.6L G54B mounts are different. I doubt there is an OEM bracket that would let you bolt it in. Moving it forward seals the deal I think. You'll need to make your own brackets.
