Current set up is a stock '88 sports cab 4x4 with the 2.6l and auto trans. trying to decide on what would make the most sense a 2.4 EFI, 3.0 V6 or a 4d56T? I know each swap has its issues, but I absolutely suck at carbs and love wiring. I'm looking at it from a more practical sense in parts availability and the most durability. I'm leaning towards the 2.4L as it seems to be the easiest, but I also love the idea of a diesel and the 3.0 should net me some nice HP gains..
My intentions are to have an mild over-landing rig, with a small body lift OME torsion up front and either longer shackles, lift springs or going spring over axle for the rear. It has 4.22's right now, but I am going to put 4.65's in. I just want to clear some 31's easily. It will be used as my Kayak hauler as well as box mover so I will be on the roads quite a bit as well.
Anyone want to throw their .02 in?
Oh, and there is nothing really wrong with the 2.6L I have in it now other than it is carbed (factory) and one of the end exhaust manifold studs is snapped off in the head and is leaking a bit.
thanks,
Steve
