88 D50 4x4 swap to 4g64 hybrid turbo 2 week build

PMPMotorsports · Post by **PMPMotorsports** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 2:23 pm

Hey guys,

first of all thanks for everyone posting all the great info on this site.

We inherited (if you will) an 88 D50 4x4 and I have always wanted to do the swap so I just did it..

Some info and pictures

got the truck for free so I was off to a good start. had a 2.6 with a whole in the block so I got a 4g64 wideblock out of the junk yard and I am going to do the DOHC swap ending with a 2.4 stroker (kinda.. I mean there isn't really any change to the stroke.. lol) Turbo 4X4 truck..

I havn't decided on how much power I am going to go for in this truck for many reasons (Trans, Time, Money, other projects..) but I got some wiseco's and PMP forged rods. Block is at the machine shop right so when I get it back I will post more pictures.

Here is the truck though-

Wiseco and PMP Forged Rods

Block after paint and machine work.

Installed Crankshaft

Installed wisecos and rods

Wow!! What am I doing??!!??

Oh wait.. Just making room for the Water outlet and CAS..

More Engine Shots

Just a little test fit-

Custom Box for the whole I cut..

Ok so the oil pan hit the front diff so I had to cut part of the pan out of the 2.6 and fab it into the 2.4 pan.. Major PITA!!!
I didn't take a picture of the pan but this is the original I hacked part of it out..

Two weeks!? You posted all of this today.

Pretty cool to see that the wide block also has the main cap girdle. Is it also a 7-bolt? Can't wait to see this on the road. I'm also curious to see how much power that drivetrain can handle.

Yeah it WAS a 2 week build.
Yes it is a 7 bolt. This car isn't my race car so I am not going to beat on the power terrain to much but yeah.. bitchin swap for sure

Oh this looks to be a good build

I'm excited to see how she turns out. I like the upper radiator line. Might have to steal that idea!

Lol I just saw this. I have the truck now, it was in pretty sad shape when I got it. You can definitely tell it was thrown together in 2 weeks!
