Hello everyone,
this is my first time posting even though I've been signed up for a little while.
I was given a 1979 or 1980 Dodge D50 Sport with a G54B Engine in it. The truck is automatic but my neighbor who gave it to me, stated his daughter ran it low on oil and a rod ended blasting through the oil pan. I dont think its rebuildable or how much damage was done. I'm assuming the engine is done for.
I've been trying to find a replacement engine in my local junk yards for about 3 years now and no luck.
I found a truck that has a G54B engine, 6.5 hours away from me in a junk yard and I'm willing to go pull it, but as I was doing research to determine whether the engines were compatible, I read that there is a narrow block and wide block g54b.
My truck is an automatic, the would be donor truck is a 1988 dodge ram 50 sport standard.
Would this engine be a good direct fit replacement? or do I need to keep looking? I really want to get this truck going.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
I attached pictures in case it helps.
this is the junkyard engine
This ones mine...
