1983 RN46 1KZ swap
« on: Mar 04, 2021, 12:05:37 AM »
Hi All,

Last year I purchased my first hilux, the one I always wanted as kid.  It had a 4Y (blown head gasket) and 2wd G52. I bought with the intention of a quick 22R swap, clean up the body work use it for camping/light towing.

Long short, I spontaneously pulled a complete 1KZTE from a KZH100 Hiace Supercustom at wreckers, sourced a R151f and a non-electric transfer case and am now trying to make it work.

I found a lot of mixed information out there about the swap, with different people/regions referring to different years as a 'first gen' truck, mixed information about how far back the engine mounts need to be moved, others saying it bolts right up, etc...   with everything bolted together finally I wrestled the engine and gearbox in and saw how little room I have to work with!  :o 

Has anyone else done this swap before?  I have searched high and low on the internet and usually find comments or replies from people who haven't actually done the swap.
