gday all :>,
Ive been lurking on here a little while and been learning heaps !
Ive just aquired a 83 - SB L300 and even tho this forum isnt on l300's it does seem to specalise in mitz drivelines.
wih research mostly on the net, Ive decided to upgrde my l300:-
I will swap over the 2wd chassis o a 4wd one,
and put in the good 2.6l - from a tr-ts magna with the big flow ports and factroy rolla rockers
AND the fuel injection computer and loom - with a modifyed tf intake manifold!
anyway
I'm wanting to know If anyone out there does,
Is the 5 speed in my new chassis, the KM147-5 a wide gearbox or narrow one?
thx in advance, Barana.
narrow or wide km147-5
Re: narrow or wide km147-5
I am not sure about the gearbox but I think these had the wide block 4G63 same as the L200? Pretty sure they use the same chassis as the same year Pajero's

Re: narrow or wide km147-5
Ive had both and the 4WD wont be a bolt in swap , I had both cars together, body mount brackets are different and it just didnt look like an easy job , Id suggest buying a 4WD one... use the 2wd for panels. If someone said it'll bolt on get them to helpbarana wrote:gday all :>,

just looked at my pickies looks like the front mounts are at least similar so Im not sure where the difference was?
edit again .....and.. the 4be is a floor shift unless the L3 is floorshift your going to have to cut out a section from the 4be floor so you can use the gear shift set up they have (which I think means you need the 4be passenger seat.... it aint easy..
"can I put Corolla pistons in my Anchortron with a Hyundai head? will it do better burnouts with 40 solex's? "...... Im so needing coffee...

@A112H
thanks for that link mate, I measured the bellhousing and it come up
@ 305mm?? and thats from edge to edge not bolt centre to bolt centre
I gotta go back and measure it again methinks.
@Torana68
well I havent been exaustive, but it seemed the fromt and side chassis mounts are verbatim, but didnt check the rear.Was ur 2wd model a SA perchance? I know they WERE quite different in many areas
yes the 4wd floormount and i have a plan
In my 2wd handbook, it outlines two options for shifters, column and floor, my idea is, I can keep the column shift ( i love em-theyre so different) as the linkages are the same, -I MAY have to modify the chasis mounts for the column linkages.
For the 4wd range selector I have a mod idea, - I have seen somewhere in my life a 4wd shifter (from I think a van or commercial) built into the rear part of the footwell behind the heel but to the left where a shifter should be, poking out and up - I would like to get one of these shifters and transplant it into my machine (hopefully it uses a cable to the transfer case, making it easier)
torana68, whats all this about corolla pistons and Hoondai heads on an astron eh?
Does anyone know of a h/l shifter mechanisim that fits this decsription? Ifso what make/model does it come out in?
If you find it hard to picture what I am talking about, its like some e24 urvan's use for their 5sp 'floormount' -tho In my case i would be the h/l selector.
