I have a 1981 4x4 LUV with a bad 1.8 engine. Can I replace it with a 1988 Isuzu 2.3 liter 4x2 engine, and how much trouble or alterations will I run into? I do know that the 4x4 has a different oil pan (put a 1978 4x2 LUV engine in her & changed the oil pans, but it will not fit on 2.3 engine. Any help would be appreciated. I would also like to get a 5 speed tranny for it too. The one in the Isuzu is only 4x2, so I'd like to know what my choices would be for the 4x4 tranny? What do I need to find for it to fit in my 1981 4x4 LUV with the 2.3 engine. I would like to switch out the 1988 rear end also, I have been lead to believe that they will swap with little problems? Have I been given good or bad info? I would be very grateful for any help on this. I really want to upgrade and save the 1981 4x4 LUVER. Thanks to all. Hope some one can help me out.
