ahh so its all show no go. sadly there isnt a lot of options for swapping. people have done ej swaps but your looking at quite a bit of fab. thats the 3 cylinder right?

correction, that should be the 1.3. maybe you could swap the suzuki 1.6 16valve from the sidekick or geo tracker

i was thinking the suzuki or mazda but which one is better to go for?

the suzuki swap would probably be a lot easier. but the mazda swap sounds cooler. have people stuck rotary motors in these?

im not sure but there are a lot of swifts in my area

the suzuki swift will have i think the same motor as you. you gotta find the suzuki sidekick or geo tracker. the little suv things

I would not do a 13b, or any rotary for that matter. But if you do, at least do a 20b.

ej swaps are hard on these because it a transversley mounted engine. the ej takes up the whole engine bay. the biggest problem with these swaps is mounting the transmission. you gotta be decent with welder and fab work.

the suzuki 1.3 is transversely mounted. my last post felt a little confusing.another words its mounted in the engine bay like a honda with the tranny beside it enstead of behind it like the EJ

ive found a Suzuki vitara (Sidekick) would the engine just fit in nicely or would there be a bit of hacking and bashing to be done? the engines available are all 4x4 and come in 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0

i have no hands on experience with this swap but should be feasable. have fun searching threads:grin: you might have to venture beyond usmb. hopefuly not there are some experienced people on here.

hey man, that thing looks a lot like a geo metro...

 

That's Because it is a Rebagged Suzuki Swift as Subaru Justy (a.k.a: Geo Metro)

Nice Little Car, I Like it.

Why do you Want to do an Engine Swap?

Kind Regards.
