Ive been to a few more auctions and seen alot more minis come up in my area . My hijet jumbo has the 550 cc 3 cyl . Recently I seen a metro micro kia van with a cd800 engine dash and driveline looks very close to a diahatsu but only 2wd. Maybe its a myth but after searching here and google ing looks like mb metro micros got there base from daihatsu and when they folded tiger trucks took over ??? First does anyone have clairity on who bought who than who to follow the same truck family lineage but with new names???? Second has anyone ever tried mating a cd 800 to a hijet 4spd manual trans or the tigers jengling 4cyl 996cc . I think if the two mount together I could figure out the rest and would be awesome !!!
Been there done that. check my build out might help http://www.minitrucktalk.com/showthread.php?14660-s80-engine-swap
