Just saying hello from Oregon

Hi and welcome to mightyram. First is ID'ing your engine - die cast timing cover or plastic? If it's die cast it will either be a 4G52 (2 litre Astron) or 4G54 (2.6 litre Astron). Plastic timing cover will denote it as being a 4G63 2 litre Sirius engine. There should be a metal plaque on the firewall directly behind the valve cover with the info on it. Camoit has gotten together with DG Headers to make some really nice headers for the 4G63/64 engines - add a Weber, delete the emissions crap, some mild port work and a good tune up and it'll haul.

So I just found another pickup with the 5spd trans and the 4g54 in it. Already has the weber carb installed too! So I guess my question is they are both 1980 d50's would putting the motor and trains from the beat up truck into my pretty truck me straights across and easy. I have done motor swaps and dropped motors out of newer rigs so I am thinking this should be a cake walk. Thoughts?
