So after going in a mates(Adam off here unsure his username) hiace van that he recently converted from 1UZ to 1KZ it made me want one even more than i did before haha.
Iv got a 1993 KZN130 4x4 Surf. Obviously has a 1KZ-TE motor and the gearbox/axle trans numbers are A343F G294.
By the sounds of it you have to use the rear sump motor however have been told that you can flip the 1KZ subframe around and rethread the steering arms and then this allows you to run a front sump motor (Cheaper)
Is this correct and has anyone done it?
Was planning on using some engine mounts and a bellhousing adaptor from Kelvin off here to mount it etc.
Am i likely to have any issues with the factory extractors/exhaust manifolds?
What other issues am i likely to face? Obviously radiator fitment and fan fitment is going to be an issue what have others done here.
If anyone can offer some advice or point me in the direction of a thread of a similar truck thatd be primo.
Cheers
Brad
