got a 2y motor in my 1988 mod 2wd hilux with a 4speed

they need a 5th gear as it screems at a 110 km and the motor aint the powerfullest

altho i am lining up a replacement motor n box , v8 5 speed

but if your not in a rush n its your first rig it certainly won't hurt to learn drivin n modifyin too

yeah I made a typo, its a 1991 model, 2wd ute. Its advertised for $3500 big ones, 4 speed, alloy tray in reasonable condition. Only problem is its got 290 000 k's on the clock, although motor seems fine. Ta.
