KZ70 in the making..

[neo88]

Love those bumpers, any pics of the fab work?

Im guessing the engine isnt stock as I thought all KZJ70s were face lift (square headlights)?

Thanks for the compliment. Replaced original 2LT engine with 1KZ-T, thus making it technically a KZJ71. It's actually an LJ71.

No clear pics of the fab works. Can show you a closer pic before it was painted though. Hope this suffices.

Did you have any problems fitting the engine in? I have a facelift KZJ70 and Id quite like to see if i could change the front panels to the older style with the round headlights like yours as I prefer the look but Ive heard that the engine bays are smaller and the engine wouldn't fit?

Yes! Agreed. Round headlight doesn't come as stock with 1KZ engine.

the engine isnt stock. changed the original 2LT engine to 1KZT. ddnt have problems with the engine and the engine bay. fits like a tee. did some modifications (machining) with the bell housing though to fit the 2LT (light duty) transmission. my unit's running fine, the engine packs a punch. cnt wait to trail test it.
