I see this was posted 5 yrs ago but maybe someone has an update. I have a 1985 power ram 50 4x4 2.6. I would like to put a Starion/conquest turbo eng. in. Would rather spend $$ on the turbo than rebuild the 2.6. Any comments or suggestions would be great

I think there is a need to update this wiki with a few clarifications about the donor parts and the best ways to adapt things. I'm currently doing the swap and plan to document as much as I can.
