I have heard those are great engines. And hard to find. If I were closer I would jump on it, Russ

1.3 liter, DOHC, forged internals, 8+k RPM redline stock, EFI, will bolt to 2wd 5 speed tranny from a Samurai.

What's not to like?

I think they are just about the perfect motor for a Locost. I never found one for a good price (or without super high miles) and didn't want to do the fwd->rwd conversion.

Not sure if I'm following what you meant.

There is nothing special about "converting" the Swift engine to RWD.

Unbolt fwd transaxle, bolt on rwd Samurai transmission.

Dave, How many motors and trannies do you have laying around your shop. I know you stripped at least a couple didnt you?

I had a Datsun 280Z 5spd which I gave away. Then I had the Stellar motor / tranny which went in the garbage when I moved. Now I've got two 4AGE motors and one T50 tranny. The one 4AGE is for spares, the other I'll use.
