Do you have vehical inspection in Indiana? the reason why I am asking is because it is technically illegal to put the older engine in a newer truck. If you don't have such inspections it is one of those who is going to find out unless you tell them sort of things. As for the rest of it I have no idea.

the older motor will fit but the fuel injection and other things will be all thrown out of wack. The computer on the newer motor read the cam profile and all, the 82 is a non highoutput motor unlike the new roller motor. I would highly suggest you do not do this and either find another motor from a newer year or rebuild the current one.

Obvisually you are aware of the differences by the external appearance. I was more interested in the definition of toast, and exactly is wrong with the newer "toasted" engine?
