hi everyone,

i recently bought a 88 Dodge Ram 50 and it has a stock carb motor. unfortunately, the motor is toast. cylinder 3 and 4 are very low compression below the limit. so i was looking at options whether to rebuild, find used at junkyard or swapping to a 4G63?

my other question is and i know this has been asked but i looked at other post but cant seem to find the right answer, but are the stock 2.0 liter engines the same for both EFI and Carbed on the long blocks? going to try and source one out at the junkyard. also, is there a write up on how to switch from Carb to EFI using all stock parts. my truck is currently carb and if im going as far as taking the engine out, might consider converting but i just dont know what needs to be done.

for my last concern, if i switch to a 4G63 motor, how hard is it and what about getting it to pass smog? would be nice to have a turbo truck for the first time

thanks for taking the time to read my post! would really love to get this thing running again!
