87 Dakota 4g Swap
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:50 pm
So the journey begins.
Background:
Hello everyone i have been a fan of the 4g engine since i purchased my 93 Talon about 5 yrs ago, i had a blast with my 6bolt/4bolt 16g powered awd monster but that was short lived because a year later i started tearing the car apart in search of more power. The project continued to grow and my wallet continued to shrink but i was having fun so zero shits were given. The power plant was a simple .20 over eagle/Wiseco combo with reground cams and head work with the addition of a JMFab SHIM w/ S90 TB and FP cast mani with a FP3065 BB Turbo. When i purchased the talon it was a 5spd car but while it was being disassembled i noticed a TCM in car and realized i had what used to be a factory auto car so at that point i put the brakes on the build and started hunting for auto parts to bring it back to its former self. The hunting continues to this day...
Present:
So rather then let my 2yr old built motor sit and continue collecting dust i have decided to swap it into my mint 87 2wd auto V6 Dakota with less than 80k original miles. (Photos of Dakota to follow soon).
Stay Tuned!
