What parts do I need to change when I replace a 1400 nissan pickup engine and gearbox with a 2 liter nissan engine and gearbox? both are rear wheel drive and the engine mountings is the same, but don't know what else I should change, like the brakes, the differential and the suspension.

if it fits as is i wouldn't do any other changes at first. you may have to change front springs if the front sags from extra weight?
