HELP :( whats easiest swap in an 85....

[skizzae]

Hiya, i have just recently come across an 85 rolling body,cudnt refuse really,as iv wanted one for ages... But im slowly finding out that this isnt goin to be the quick slam in a 4AGE and box and computer an im away... so really its going to be a bit of a big project whether i planned it or not. It had a friggin UZFE bolted into it,thats been taken out,so the mounts have changed my steering rack isnt conected its all abit of a pickel haha who knows there shit and keen on helping me out haha

can have access to a 1j with auto box,would that be cheaper and easier? i really wanted to stick to an OG jdm hatchi roku concept

"Easiest" would be change the mounts mack to stock and chuck a 3A back in there. Anything else worth putting in there will require a fair bit of work.

1jz would not be easy.

If its got the mounts for the 1UZ, then why not follow through?

Would make a hell of a car

1UZ would be pretty sick.!

thats my old car.

couldnt get 4500 for it when i was trying to sell it, doesnt look like he has changed anything!

its pretty sweet overall, i did shitloads to it, including having it on a chassis liner. the front right (drivers side) guard and door are pretty rugged on the paint front (me with a rattle can) but as far as hachis go, its fairly light on rust. i had a bit fixed up. the guy i sold it to was quite rough on his cars! its got some rangi wiring in it (me again) but he said he had a sparky mate that was going to tidy it up.

good to see the bluey still hanging in there, haha. was wondering what had happened to it

edit - i lie a little bit, looks like he has put in an 86 fuel tank - was pretty much the last thing missing for it to have a complete mechanical conversion to 86 status

Thanks for all the info guys! yea iv got a 3a mounts sussed from the old owner, was guna carry on with 1uz b ut really want to make it original as and i would LOVE to have a light 4age hatchi as a daily tofu delivery car, so i think this will be the best bet to go with, 1jz would be insane but i do have my skyline too,seems im jus throwing money at them and they arnt goin anywhere haha projects ay
