Hello, I just bought a 79 4x4 and it was delivered today. It didn't even make it 10 mile before braking down
. It started making a bad noise and jerking then came to a stop. I think the motor is no good
I now have to decide whether to rebuild the 1.8 or build a 2.6. If its all the same to bolt up and the 2.6 has more HP then this is easy to answer? I did find a 88 Trooper at the pic&pull a couple of days ago.
Should I just buy a long block 2.6, get a carb and pull what parts i need off the pic&pull Trooper?..... it cant be that easy?
Or just buy a rebuild kit for the 1.8?
Thanks Neal
