You need ot know what your doing, so you will not be able to do it.

Or get a master mechanic to do it, maybe talk to Gabe to get you a wicked 1MZ! and maybe hire someone from the forum to do it, lol idk im just tossing you ideas right now! Good luck!

^^^ this would be the easiest route. Trust me, save you all your money swapping it and your time.

You can do it but you need to be mechanically inclined as it is a VERY big job. I did the same thing with an '85 Ranger but on top of swapping to a V6 from a 4 cyl I also made it into a 4x4 from a 2wd.
It would be good if you had a donor car to take parts from as there are always little things you will need from it and before you start it's good to take many, many pictures from all angles so you can refer back when needed.

Good luck. Tim

Find a donor car and do a direct R and R.

It is not difficult. Very time consuming.

Oh man that sounds like fun! :multi:

I wish I could be there to help :-?

...and I do agree, a V6 standard is the way to go!

Have fun and let us know how it goes.

^ Your car is rare in Florida? HAHAHA! Um, no.....

A Dihatsu (sp?) is rare, not your car. Not by any means.
