Recently bought an 80 4x4 4 speed LUV, got into the engine and seems it is not holding compression
took the carb off and sprayed fluid into the intake, the closest I got to starting was a "whhop" like pop.. more like a backfire. Check distributor etc but nothing worked.
That being said, I am considering doing a full drivetrain swap to a jeep inline 4.0 5 speed. Thoughts? I am sure I will have to cut the firewall, but I am pretty good with fab work.
What about the Isuzu pup engines? would the 2.6 bolt to my current drivetrain without modification? Or is the drop on the wrong side?
