The trucks were all 6 bolt cranks as far as I know - the 7 bolts were car blocks. If it is a 7 bolt, you can use the flywheel and pressure plate from the car and the clutch disc from the 2.4 truck.

Now that I got my engine out, it's a 7-bolt. That's probably why the 93-96 engines are labeled different. What's the differences in the crank? If I found a 6-bolt could I drop that in without mods?Originally Posted by pennyman1
NO. can't just change the crank, I don't have the specific differences, (nor the reasoning behind the change). suffice to say it's more than the number of bolt holes on the butt end.

What is a 7-bolt engine?
A 6-bolt engine is one that has a 6-bolt flywheel - that is, there are 6 bolts holding the flywheel to the crankshaft. A 7-bolt motor has 7 bolts there.
Along with the flywheel change, there are many other internal changes between the two engines. The crankshafts are different sizes, as are the rods and crankshaft seals. 6-bolt motors have 'big' rods, while 7-bolt engines have 'small' rods. The journal and bearing widths different, although the bearing diameters are the same.
There may also be other changes between the two engines, and the parts are not interchangeable.
