4g63 wideblock vs. 4g63 narrowblock difference

Post by tonydanzah »

I just found this forums last nite and have been readin them for a trans swap info for a 4g63 into a 4x4 toyta pickup. If the threads people keep saying 4g63 4g64 wide and narrowblock what is the diffence. I have never heard these terms when it comes to dsms.

you must first pass the ' blood initiation' before you can be told, cuz if DJ hears that question one more time, he will rotate his EVO in the other direction! :D :D :D :D

is this is asked so frequently it should be in the FAQ. Anyways i know that 1g dsm are called 6 bolts and are considered among most eclipsers the better choice as the 2g dsm have the 7 bolt motor and it way more prone to crank walk. Then a cheap upgrade for internals in 1g rods with 2g pistons I think. but i have never heard a mention the narrowblock or wideblock.

I am also aware the evo motor is basically a a 4g63 in a mirror as everthing is on the opposite end but the 2 share no parts. Also Bill I was reading a bellhousing thread and read that you own shops in toledo and live in michigan, what part? I am from monroe and my parents live there but right now i am in Chicago attending UTI. This morning in the street legal class someone blowup the 2g GST on the dyno with they put the wrong size nitrous jets into it. Giving it something like a 300 shot on stock internals, sent a piston flying through the side of the block.

I live in Erie Mich, Tony, and the answer to your question is, a narrow block measures 12 1/2 inch accross at the lower bellhousing bolts, a wide block measures 13 1/2 inch accross
Look under engine identifier in this site to find the different engines available

Erie, what a small world. One of my best friends just bought a house in Erie. he lives off what ever road on telegraph south that has the "BAR & GRILL" on the corner. Small blue ranch style house with the miniature pony yard that runs behind his house and several other of the houses.

Haha, Miniature ponies are down-right funny. I burst out laughing every single time I see one. :lol:
(I guess we really got off topic on this one. From Toyota's ---->wideblocks---->Bellhousings---->Michigan---->Nitrous---->and now to miniature ponies. Nice work!)

We have a FAQ?

Fucking miniature ponies and getting tied up. Justine is going to love this thread!

FAQ might be a good idea though.

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.

Wideblocks cannot be found in either 6 bolt or 7 bolt DSMs. They are only found in trucks and vans.

Only 2.6 manual rwd are wide-block, according to this site.

Pickup trucks, Starion, Galant, Sapporo, Scorpion

Everything else, including all auto and transverse engines should be narrow block.

There are plenty of errors on Hoonboy's site, it has good info too.
There are wideblock 2.0 and 2.4s in the L200s.

That is an L200 not a L2000, it is a Mighty Max or pickup to you, the question had been asked buy someone from New Zealand so I answered it in his terms.
