There are many on here that have done the starquest motor swap, it's a 2.6 turbo version of our motor with a lot to offer. Another swap is the 4g63 from the various mitsu cars; its 16 valve with or without a turbo. Just something to get you thinking; I'm building a 2.6 starquest for my 1st gen 1980 d-50. Welcome and enjoy!!!
