2.6 to 2.4 swap question

[Crhrider]

Will a 1991 2.4l auto engine drop into a 1985 2.6l manual?

I did some reading in the threads and it appears that both motors are wideblock. Now the question is are the mounts the same? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just bought my D50 a few months ago and the motor seized. Don't know much about these trucks, but I want to get it running again. My truck is a 85 4wd 5spd with the G54B. Any help is appreciated!

Your 2.6 might be a narrow block as there were some years that were and yours is right around the years that I believe Pennyman says were narrows. I would wait for him to reply.

The 2.6 manual is a wide block - 2.6 autos were narrow block to 87. 2.4 auto or manual blocks are all wide blocks.

Thanks for the info guys! How about the motor mounts? Do you know if they are the same? Also converting from carb to efi...big project?
