Since everyone loves photos here are my trucks.
On the left is my 1992 with a 4.0L from a 94 explore.
Spent a lot of time changing the axels and modding this truck, and she has served me well for the 15years I've owned her.
On the right is my newly acquired 1987 that currently has a 2.9L
Truck has meaty full size axels with 5:12 gearing and long arm suspension so it was a huge score and upgrade.
My question is will I be able to drop the 4.0L into the 87 and plug in the wiring harness or will I have to bring the dash harness and computer as well?
I've already pulled the 4.0L so I was able to clean it up and replace some gaskets while it's out. The 1992 originally had a 4cylder and tracking down a working computer and dash harness when I did the original swap was a huge head pain. Both trucks work so I'm not considered about tracking wires and computers again, just thought I'd ask if anyone here would be able to provide a strait answer and possibly give me any heads up if I should expect any other issues.
Thanks a bunch.
