4K To 1Y Swap

[jturn180]

Gday, I've got an 82 liteace, with a 4k in it. the 4k is shagged, and i want something better as i live in a hilly area and carry a fair load with it. i had a 1y powered hilux thrown at me the other day and the engine and box (colum 4 speed like the van) are in really good nick.

 

So what I'm askin, is do people do Y into K series cars? I can't find any info on these swaps. Any info would be appreciated :)

 

Cheers, Jake

PM rob83ke70 and ask him. He fitted a Y (I think its a 3Y) to his Dyna, but I can't remember what it replaced.

 

Why not a 7K motor? easy swap... I suppose if you have the 1Y its worth using.

With you're km20 Liteace maybe you can drop in a 5k 1.5 motor from a km36 Liteace.

I've got a 1989 ym35 Liteace with a 2y motor and performs really well besides from a flat spot on the carby.

 

You may need to convert to hydro clutch and modify the engine and gearbox mounts for the y series driveline... Lots of work! Sell the ute and use the proceeds on a 5 or 7k install.
