Hi,although i love my little sammy i reckon it could do with a bit more grunt and was wondering how much hassle it would be to drop a vitara engine in,ive looked at an engine and it dont seem too big of a job but i thought id ask the people that know,thats you lot by the way
cheers

i have been planning on doing mine for a while now " time seems to be in short supply".
the parts you need are engine and gearbox adaptor... i paid £45 for mine off of ebay
the engine mounts need to be moved too.
you can use the sj exhaust and dizzy and inlet manifold and starter.
hope this helps |

the conversion plate in the picture also came with full conversion details AND a phone number if you get stuck ( that sealed the deal for me ) |
