Ok, I have an 86 samurai that is currently running the stock 1.3 liter on propane with stock 5 spd and 6.4 t case. But my engine is starting to burn a little oil on steep climbs etc. I have another 1.3 core block I was planning on building up just a little for the propane, but have decided it might be time for an upgrade. I was thinking 16v 1.6 out of a tracker and swaping in the 3 spd auto from the same sidekick and t case also mounted to my samurai 6.4 case. All this can be done with just an inexpensive adapter kit and a t case adapter keeping everything in it's stock locations. I am hoping to swap this drivetrain into a light weight tube buggy later so any ideas are open. Plus I know that the automatic to doubled t cases will give me a crazy crawl, but I think the option would be cool or at least fun. Also Should I keep the propane setup for now since it's all set up? I would used the multiport setup later in the buggy If I did switch it. What do you guys think? I know this a crazy long paragraph also!
