KZN130 engine in KZN185

[vinnielee]

Hi to all. This may seem like a daft question to most of you but would it be (relatively) straightforward to drop a decent 1995 KNZ130 engine into a 1997 KNZ185 body with a knackered bottom end? Is it even possible??

as far as i know the engines themselves are exactly the same, whether any of the ancillaries may be different i don't know, but i guess you'll have all of them off the engine that's coming out anyway?

Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear. Anyone fancy the job??

hi i did the reverse of what your going to do i had to change over the sump, oil dipstick and downpipe that comes off the turbo plus engine mounts think that was all ,remember if doing yourself try to keep the tourqe conveter attached to gearbox as i knackerd the pump on gearbox cos was not aligned properly
hope this helps n good luck
