Thanks for the welcome guys ill get more pictures up soon just a quick question
Are there ever any meets for thease little trucks its looks like I'm the only guy in
Indiana with one.

Very sweet truck welcome to the site, good to see another boosted MM/D50 guy on here. As for meets for these trucks there aren't any that I have heard of, but there is a guy or two from Indiana on this site I believe.

When the forum figures out a good central meeting place, we will have to get together and show the other brand owners what great trucks we have. I have a conquest motor in the process of a build myself for one of my 2 trucks, either Geronimo, my avatar, or my 86 project truck.

[turbo d50]

I agree thease trucks are great and I think we should try to put
A meet together it would fun to meet people that share the same
Addiction we do pennyman1 if you need any info on the swap
Hit me up I have plenty of info for you like wiring diagrams tuning
When done right the conquest motor is very dependable and with
A few upgrades 240hp is easy to achieve.

Now that's dedication! What a beauty. Great job and welcome to the forum.

Mine is going old school - a weber dcoe in a draw through setup. Also have a non jet valve head that will have o/s ss valves and a tim c monsta banchee cam and a ported stock exhaust manifold. The rotating assy has been balanced for the balance shaft elimination kit installed. This will work well with the exhaust on Geronimo, which is a 2.25" with a free flow cat into a flowmaster that splits out to dual 2" pipes with Gibson tips. I will take advantage of your knowledge as well - never can have too much info when doing an engine swap.

Natureboy thanks for the welcome and the nice comments pennyman 1 old school sound like a cool
Idea and sounds like a fun build. Ill follow you're bulid love to see different things done.
