what does the 1.6 run like in yours? I just got a throttle body 1600 out of a 93 tracker. They say it's an easy swap, and I can use everything off of mine to carb it. Is it worth doing? Or they say I can just use the head also. What is better?
the block is pretty much the same. they are great engines. my cousin has a94 yota with 36's and 4.88's. it really runs good. they like to tick alot though.
I had thought about putting all yota in mine too. that way i had a match for the rears. but the v6 is free so i'm going to use it for now.
