Fitted Vitara 1.6 engine and sj413 5 speed gearbox

joined engine & gearbox with adaptor plate following instructions on this forum.
craned in place, levelled with spirit level on inlet manifold.
Placed on wooden blocks, fabricated & welded mounts.

I am fitting them to a Japan built 1985 SJ410.

Thanks
Jack

I put my previous project through the SVA registration process a couple of years ago without a problem.
