I am so stoked to have found this thread. A couple months ago I found a 88 Ram 50, 2.0L, 2wd. A month ago I found a 88 Power Ram 2.6L, 4x4. I'm looking to do a v8 swap and, if I am able, also do a 4x4 conversion.

I live in Hawaii and have a friend that is moving off island. I am going to see if I can get him to sell me his small block zz4.

Anyways, I expect to run into a lot of unexpected stuff and this thread is going to be a lot of help. I can't wait to get going.

Thanks for all of the details you provide!
