TOYRLA Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 hi mate, that is pretty much true. it would be a very easy convertion, the only thing you may have to do is to change engine mounts over. Change your mounts that are on your motor now to the 7k or other k motor you are going to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make engine mounts out of the ones that you have as the block is around 15mm wider and you also have to modify the sump to fit. They are the facts.
