I'm possibly looking into an Engine transplant over the winter for my Sammy. I dont want to go down the road of a 1600 but i hear there is another suzuki 1300 that will fit? Can anyone shed some light on this? Or any other ideas/input  would be great!

I'm not sure about a Zuk engine, however I know someone who fitted a 1.6 16V vauxhall engine, It fitted in the bay fine but required some mods to the mounts and gearbox plate etc.... Hoad a shed load of torque when they went off road.  :lol:  :twisted:  :lol:

I've heard a Swift 1.3 16 valve engine will fit in Sammys & SJ's. I know you don't want to go the 1.6 route, but it's exactly the same block. Just a longer stroke to give the extra cc. By far the easiest method. VW diesels are a popular choice also, great for wading as there are no electrics.

Its more that i dont want all the fuss that happens when you change it to 1600. For starters, im still young and the Mr Insureance man would rip me to bits! Also, if im totally honest, Im not an Engineer, so upgrading like that would mean a converstion kit ect, and that gets complicated.
  1 Suggestion i got from a friend was to put just the Suzuki swift Pistons in, because they are high compression. But I was wondering if the whole engine would fit?

Yes the engine does fit just needs a mod for the distributor.

To be honest mate, as soon as you say "Non std engine to Mr Insurance rip off" they will rip you off!  :twisted:  I would keep it to a std 1.3 and look at other mods. Motor car insurance in the UK has gone mad!!

The swift 1.3 16v is pretty similar, but the distributor sticks out the end of the motor, you can buy a small geared adaptor to sort  thet out from a zuki place in belgium.
The head(twin cam) will swap, but you need the pistons as well(pocketed for 4 valves per cyl), so grief there, and its fuel infected, so more wiring grief and ecu's etc.
You can buy a manifold to fit twin webers, but then Im guessing the abysmal fuel consumption may put you off.
As has been said, the insurance will still kick yer ass if you modify it anyway, so you may as well fit the 1.6.
Other options include vauxhall motors. get a manta gearbox(carlton/omega) and a 1.6,1.8,2.0,1.5d,1.7d,1.7tdi,2.5v6
the sky is the limit, as are halfhshafts and cv joints!!

Vitara engine is by far the easiest, exactly the same block.

Well, Im 21 with a 1.3 standard sammy ( Well, thats what the insurance company believe) and Im paying around 700 quid! I live in a rough part of town, it stinks! I think I might just fit a webber to it after all...

If you go down the route of a carb conversion I would suggest using the SU carb if you can get an adaptor made up.
