Howdy Folks at the last Moabzuzu that I attended there was a 1st Gen Trooper that had a 2nd gen 3.2l in it. Does anybody remember who that was?

Something in my old, decrepit memory is that it was Chad who had the 2nd gen engine in a 1st gen body.

Howdy Bruce! Long time...remember this?

The engine thing doesn't ring a bell with me, wish I could help.

Here's a very old posting from Chad that I saved, regarding his swap:

I have a '94 3.2 in my '87 trooper. I used the '94 tranny as well. The crossmember
is in the same place on both trucks. I cut off the rodeo's motor mounts and welded
them in my trooper. The motor fits great and it looks factory. The only trouble is
that the e-brake won't work with the v6, I'm still working on that one. If you can
find a good donor vehicle I think that this swap is a good option


HTH...........ed

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then! The jalopy still lives in a state of hibernation. It now wears a first gen amigo body, still on the '87 frame. Same 3.2, dual isuzu t-case and front and rear d44 axles with leaf springs.
I have been thinking about brushing off the cobwebs and see if the old girl will wake back up.
