Hi all.. name is Steve from Tucson Az.. been a member here since last may.. been reading this site for 10ish years tho.. was also a member on the old hotrodscoffeeshop site.. been into dsm's since 03.. had a 85 ram 50 back in 2009.. last summer I picked up a *FREE* 86 MM.. no drivetrain or interior but body was mostly in good condition other than 1 dent.. a bad front bumper/no grill and broken tail light covers and of course faded paint lol.... I welded in some new metal to make seat brackets and mounted some 90 eagle talon seats.. its getting a 4G61T from a 89 dodge colt.. still undecided on a trans as I want to keep it manual.. but @ 350-400 hp im still looking over options.. hope you enjoy..

old iron, gets a new lease on life.... with a breath of fresh(or hot) air
Don't get to see a 1.6L pickup every day.... or a 350-400hp mini for that matter.
Back from the grave.... with a vengance. Cool stuff

4G3X/G3XB and 4G6X/G6XB blocks all have the same transmission mounting pattern so you can use the KM132 trans from a truck to mount up to it.
