Need a Spot
I found a 1995 SR with the 3.5 v6 air lockers, etc. I would love to swap everything I can into my gen 1 raider. Will the engine, trans and transfer case bolt in without much work? How about the front and rear axles? I would normally do a search but I need to know ASAP so I can scoop up the rig.

Thanks in advance.

Ed

Is your truck a V-6? 2dr or 4dr? I do know a lot of parts will "bolt in" Not sure if all will.

Lots and lots of work, being that it's a 2.6, leaf-sprung truck.

I figured it would be a good amount of work. I really just want to do a motor swap. The 2.6 in anemic even with only 84k on it and in great running order.

Yours an auto? If so, you'll need a V-6 auto bell housing to swap onto your KM-148. Mix up the mounts, get it all together, then weld the mounts back into position. The wiring harness. Yikes. That's where I'm at right now. 94SR into an 87. Overall a lot of work, but it will go with the AZ Crews assessment that it will be worth it.

It's way worth it, enough said. As for the rear axle swapping under leaf springs

Yep it's a auto and so is the donor rig. I'm going to check it all out tomorrow.
