Mr. Brat

Yeah I have a few friends that are into yota. You remember where abouts you have seen it?

Thats what I had thought, just wanted to throw it out there to see if in deed it was true.

I cant remember where I heard or had seen... Putting a 2wd drisributor in a 4wd motor will have more advance when the distributor is in full advance. True?

What are you lookin to get out of it? I just went and picked up a 2.2l so that swap is going to drain me a little bit. I still need to get the adaptor plate and send up my fly wheel.

No im not from the marlin board. As for all the reading that I have done. It seems as if I will get the first T case that I come across. I am going to pick up a 2.2l today but was hopeing to get the t case and all the hardware installed I started on the motor swap. But oh well looks like I will have to change my plans. The big advantage to using the Missan t case is that all the u joints are the same size and not have to carry and use 2 differant u joints to make one. But thanks for the pics. I would like to see more of them and some inwork and finished pics, those always help rather than trying to picture it in my head.

I am also looking at putting the nissan t case in to get the stock or somewhat close to stock gear ratio back. I have always seen the nissan t cases intalled. Is that the only one that is the best fit? What about a samurai case? And also what model number or year should the case come from? I know that you will have to build a sub frame to house the front diff, Do you mount this normal (just backwards) or whould it have to be upside down?

I have done this to my brat. You will need the 5 spd. tranny single or dual range doesnt matter. You will need the flywheel and clutch disk from the 5 spd. You will also need the mounts (will has to combined the old to the new, hold them up and you will see the differance). You will need the 2 piece drive line from the 5 spd. car (unless you are putting it in a 2 door hatch then your 1 piece driveline will work. Also will need the center consol due to the 4wd lever will change the way it enters the trans tunnel. You will also have to shave down the the lower part of the block where the inspection plate bolts up. It hits the flywheel. If you want to get miticulous you will also need the plug for the tranny and have to cut and splice your harness so your reverse, 4wd low range lights all work. If you have any other questions feel to ask.

Thank you for the feed back, this will greatly opne my searches for a parts car.

I have heard that when doing this swap you need to get a motor that was out of a manual car to go in a manual vehicle. Is this true and what is the differance between auto motor?

I have a d/r 5 spd in my brat and didn't have any problem with the larger holes in the flywheel.

I have put a new cable in it, I was just trying to get rid of having to adjust it. I am looking at the 2.2 or 2.5 swap. I have a d/r 5 spd. If nobody has done it im not going to worry about it. I figured I would through it out there and see if it has been done.

Has anyone installed or heard of anyone installing a hyrdrolic slave cylinder? Im tired of the hard clutch pedal...

You will need to either make a set of mounts or cut the ea81 and ea82 mounts apart and reweld them together. Also may need to grind down the lower part of the engine block where the inspection plate bolts up to.
