Been thinking about putting another motor in my 1990 mighty max 2.4 but all I can seem to find around here is a 2.6. Will a 2.6 bolt up to my 5 speed transmission... And will the wiring harness be the same?

No it wont. 2.6 is carbed, 2.4 is Fuel injected.

Yes it will bolt up, they use the same wide block pattern.

will the motor mounts be right? water inlet & outlet? fuel? ,you have a electric pump in the tank, 2.6 has a mechanical one on the block.
a lot of trouble to go backwards? but hey, your truck.
