was it hard?
how long did it take

[jonossiksilvia]

wasnt it hard at all. i spent alot of time getting engine ready to drop in like cam belt etc. if you do it make sure you get starter motor rebuilt. its a prick to get towith engine out let alone in. mine was so stuffed it couldnt be rebuilt. i went auto for a few reasons: 1 i wanted auto 2 most motors come with auto cos they not worth a thing 3 auto surf transfer bolts straight up. i guess if i worked out the hours prob be 60 hours tops doing swap.

with anything the more you do yourself the cheaper it will be. happy to answer any questions but also check out the sites: uzswap and lextreme - plenty of info on both of them

do you mind if i come have a look at it some time?
and mines a 2door you think i would have any difference?

[jonossiksilvia]

yes that sweet as mate not drivable at the moment both diffs are out bout to get ratios changed and locker fitted. also need to sort the idle out on it but you will get an idea. 2 door should be no difference at all to my best of knowledge. pm me with a number to txt ya
