Did your engine come with a waterline from the engine to the pump?

No, I've never seen one that has one.

That's good to hear. I have been loving my 4d56 crate motor swap as well. These little crate motors are a fantastic. I can cruise at 80mph all day long on the freeway. I don't have to worry about downshifting on mountain passes or when passing on the freeway. I just step on it and it goes. It looks like you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

I put it in a fully restored 1983 Mitsubishi Pickup.

I still have it and it's running great!

I just picked up a 89 single cab 4x4 5spd with considerably more mileage. Cool little trucks.

Nice one! I've been thinking about painting my wheels black.

They are 16" Tacoma wheels I got for 100 bucks with very worn tires. They will get me through the summer at least. They are plasti dipped. So we will see how they hold up.

Any updates on this truck?

 

[Jeff@QuadShop]

No real updates but it's still running great!

I finally got around to making a real rear bumper to match the front one that I had made years ago. No more ugly chrome!

Here's my latest project, I'm going to install a Mitsubishi Montero rear axle into my Mazda.

Here's why...
factory air locker
huge 9.5" ring gear
31 spline axles
disc brakes
the correct ratio for my truck
the correct bolt pattern for my truck
the correct width for my truck

I will have to cut off the coil spring mounts and install leaf spring perches but that's no problem

This axle is proven to be super strong and over built.

It's a little rusty but otherwise in good shape, the gear oil still looks new.

I even picked up the little self regulating air compressor to operate the locker.
