First wash after Raptor Liner, not too bad.
I'm at a crossroads with the engine, I have options in my shop but they are not what I originally wanted to do (1.6)
So the 1.3 is rattling...I could rebuild it, but it's still a 1.3. It never impressed me, it worked, it did everything (wheeling and DD) but didn't do anything well at all.
I just rebuilt the stock 5 speed trans, the t case has 6.4 gears in a ZOR cradle. I have already broke the t case once, and trust it about as much as I trust this president.
I have in my possession a TBI 4.3 that was a reman engine. I've had it for a long time, it was supposedly good when I got it but I've never run it. I have that mated to a Toyota W56 5 speed with stock dual cases behind it. I was going to run this in my Yota truggy, but changed my mind to a 5.3
I have everything to run the 4.3/Yota combination. I know the Toyota trans and cases will take anything I'd dish out in the Samurai. It'd make daily driving easier I'd think.
Or do I find a 1.6? I've been looking for anything used on Marketplace and haven't had any luck.
What would IBB do?
