Project green turd.

Post by muddyplumber »

Image

This is the new project "green turd".the plan is to pull out the 3L v6 and fit a 1kz and 4 link the rear and 5 link the front.
What I need to figure out is should I try and mate the mitzi auto to the 1kz or run a surf auto/transfer instead?

Hi Rich, do you want my 2cents ? :? , OK I will offer it any way :lol: , being a Mitzi why not a 2.8 Mitzi :shock: , not a lot wrong with them or right with them depending on your experience similar kw as 1KZ (Fu-k All), can be tweaked and should be bolt in with no cert :oops: , forget the cert you will need it anyway. :wink: :wink: :wink: with your history you won't keep it long or you will change your mind :roll: :roll: . either way will be a nice Toy.

:cry: :cry: OLD SMOKEY :( :( :( ,

According to wikipedia
1KZ-TE=97KW
4M4OT =92KW
I would have thought there would be a bigger difference than that. :shock:
