So, recently I've been looking for an engine (by recently I mean the past year). I couldn't find a suitable 2.6L or 2.3L Isuzu, but I did find a stock 1.8L so I jumped on that. Anyways, its in the truck now and it seems to be running pretty decent apart for a little bit of smoke (hopefully just a little oil seeped past the rings whilst it was upside down on the stand, but time will tell) and the timing is just a bit off. Once thats done she'll be on the road, as I just finished my interior with new floor pans and herculined dash and floorboard.


Hopefully as shes driving I can do some fun exterior stuff, such as bob the bed, weld up the rocker panels a bit, and build a tube bumper and roll bar.


Now to the pics...

Mmm, makes me want to take mine out and and clean it up

Looks good, but ditch that Fram oil filter...

Its gone. That was the old one, as when I had taken the pics I hadn't yet done the oil change. But I have now, and its long gone.

hate to hijack the thread, but you mentioned ditch the fram filter, what else is there? what should i be using?

Fram has a recent history of collapsing internally, hence the ditch the Fram rant. A Wix filter is a good choice. As an example, my race motor went from 75 PSI cold to around 20 with just an oil change. I swapped out the Fram with the Suregrip option for the Wix and was back up to snuff. The 'good' filters from Napa & Carquest are made for them by Wix...
