Hi, i'm looking at buying a 5k that i saw on trademe.co.nz to put into my KP61 starlet. it's got a dead 4k in it at the moment with a 4 speed. does anyone know if it's true you can't bolt it up to the 4k's gearbox? i was sure you could but i heard it wasn't that easy so i thought i'd double check.

also is there a way to tell a 5k from 3 or 4k just by looking? and that's assuming it's not just written on the rocker cover or something.

 

Thanks, hope someone that knows the answers will bother to reply.

yip the 5k will bolt up to a 4 speed box, just use the 4k flywheel and clutch.

 

and just check the engine number on the 5k it's under No 3 spark plug on the block, it should say 5k then the engine number.

 

i use to have a kp60 starlet with a 5k in it so it can be done and it's not that hard.

as above.

 

where abouts in nz are you?
