First we have to try and work out which Rocky you have. As your in South America and the American name for the Sportrak / Feroza was a Rocky so it might be a Sportrak. I have to admit that when Chile was on the news for some reason a month ago I did see a turquoise Sportrak in the background so it might be a Sportrak Rocky. However if it is a Rocky as in a Australian style rocky then it will be a huge great thing.
Best thing to do is look in the gallery and compare the Sportrak and Fourtrak to what yours looks like. But from what I gather over the past 8-10 months of being in the Daihatsu world is that Rockys (Sportraks) were shipped to the US from 1988 up until about 1992.
Not sure how you can determine what engine it has but best thing to do it have a quick look over it. If it is a Daihatsu engine, and if it is anything like mine it will have about 5 million Daihatsu Logos all over it, and I am sure if its a Toyota one it will probably have the same but obviously Toyota logos.
If it has the original Daihatsu engine in it, then I have seen some US Rocky manuals on ebay available in the US but I would have to double check to see if it calls it a F90.
