Can be easier to remove the whole front end as one lump, depends how rusted on they are.

I suppose it depends on what lifting tackle you have available too, and how high your truck is. :lol:

if i had a 1.6 16v with loom and ecu id give it a go, more power and torque than the 8v, aslong as you dont plan on drowning your zuk youll be fine :)
