4x4 tyranny swap.

[Havelthebonk]

I found a parts truck 4x4 88 power ram50...blown motor ...I can get a "new" port and polish 2.0 motor..question is can the 2.0 plug into the power ram50 frame and transmission or would I be better off waiting longer but possibly put my current daily 87 2.6 sport motor on that tranny

Depends if the transmission will mount to the engine. I don't know if 4x4 trans is narrow or wide block and it may also depend if the engine is for an auto (wide block pattern)

Fair enough both of my current motor and tyranny are manual so idk if that tell you narrow or wide I guess a better question is how do I find out if and what part are compatible

It doesn't mention 4wd units but all 87-89 4wd trucks have the G54b engine and therefore, wide blocks.
