oops, sorry have one last question,

When shopping for a donor vehicle......what years are best for swapping to a samurai?

and also, are the AC and PS from the trackick transplantable while you are moving the motor?  just curious.

I hear 8v are the best as they seem to 'convert' to carborated easiest.

what turbo diesle engines from vw are there swap kits for like what yearof car i'm i suppose to look for?

Rocky Road has a section on Diesal engine swaps that tells you what years etc....

if the donor engine has the Ac already attached via pulleys etc, and came from a powersteering donor, could you have both ac and powersteering as a result of the swap?  or are there things in a Samurai engine bay that get in the way?

The zuk engine bay is kinda small. I think the steering shaft will be in the way.

I am certain that steering is a little more important than A/C.

so the steering set up on a trackick is that much different than a Samurai?

I know rocky road sells a power steering bracket that lets you upgrade your ac samurai to a powersteering and ac samurai, but it requires using old toyota parts.....and i am going to have tracker power steering parts just sitting there going to waste unless i use them.

You CAN use the track/kick steering on a zuk!! You will just need to drill some holes to mount the steering box. Trail Tough has a kit for that.

I am just saying that there's not enough room for the stock brackets for P/S and A/C.

I think that aftermarket4x4 has done something like this. Maybe you could check with Sean. His knows his stuff.

1.6L 16v Up to and including 1995 are best  (OBDI)  

1996 and later are OBDII and a little more difficult.  1996 is a unique set up that is only found on 1996.  1997 & 1998 are also useable but OBDII is a little more difficutl to make run in closed loop.   1999 and up 1.6L 16v engines are even more difficult...

thanks!!

of course i dont have the donor yet ......or the money to pay for the swap......but im on the look out for both.

Im posting pictures of my most recent stupid sammy trick on a diff thread called trogdors playground.
