Its an 1987 hardbody rescued from the junkyard. got an 89 pathy vg30i in it. recently had some injector issues. now i cant seem to find the fuel injector cap without buying an all new throttle body for nearly 700.

Seeing as tho this truck has a port and polish and a 3 angle valve job and the engine has 80k original miles on the bottom end. i dont want to swap it out. just wanting to know the parts needed to make it a mpfi vg30e.

Im assuming this swap isnt all that hard. just need a complete z31 vg30et turbo engine with ecu and wiring harness? bash in the firewall to make it fit? Should be fairly simple? anything im missing? Maybe the exhaust. if i had a body lift i dont think id need the bashing

I don't think you will need to do much bashing as the D21 trucks shared the same 3.0L block as the Z31. The only real difference will be fitting the intake system and modifying a V6 truck exhaust to work.
