The Suzuki SJ has never come with a 1.6 as standard? so I would imagine it is just using the original gearbox with either an adapter plate or with a few mods?

scott is right and the sammy sport just had a slightly different 1.3 engine

The gearboxes are interchangeable, but the Samurai gearbox is a slightly different ratio to the 413 box I think

It may have had a 1.6 engine put in it then...
Where the engine meets the gearbox on the exhaust side it will have the engine capacity on it

It will either be 1298cc, 1324cc, or 1590cc :)
