need opinions

[jec778]

I've got a 84 720 with the 2.4 i need some opinions on what i should do to get the most power out of my truck without being the biggest problem.

Depends on your use. Is this thing meant to be a daily driver?

[jec778]

yes and no i want it to be a nice truck. it is a daily driver but i live close to work so gas isn't a problem. its 2wd 720 so i just want a fast powerful truck.

With this motor... either use it or lose it. The motor is what it is, a pretty bullet proof 2.4. If you want more power get bigger displacement or a better motor for the 2wd setup.

the trucks are rear sump so keep that in mind.

the simplest swap would be ka24e, as it came in the truck fuel injected and handles a turbo.

I am sure you could turbo the z24 and run it on megasquirt if you really wanted to.

^That's why I want to know if it is meant for daily driving. If it is meant for daily driving, revamp the motor, port the head, get a weber, do a custom exhaust, and lose some un necessary weight. It'll be twice the truck it is. Being a daily kind of throws out the swap thing. Gas isn't the issue with swapped turbo motors... reliability is. He could go SR or KA and make the the 400 whp and beastly, but is it going to be annoying and probably keep him from being able to get to work reliably? Probably

ok that is one thing i did need to know. i do need it to be reliable to get me back and forth.
