Hello all,

I have a 1990 Pintara TRX with a buggered engine! I have replaced the engine before and i am wanting to do the same again. Does anyone know of any wreckers or anywhere that would have a trx?  ???

Is there any other engine that i could put in (a better one) without having to do too many mods to other parts?

Any advice would be appreciated as i dont really know too much.

Thanks. ;D

search wreckers for U13 bluebird with the KA24DE motor, get some twin cam goodness in there
Will be direct bolt in upgrade just not sure about wiring loom but someone on here will be able to answer that side of things

to be fair, it wouldn't be ANTRX if we stayed on topic.

and if someone wasn't cranky at Chr1s for something he said...
