Ive just bought a 410 with a 1.6 8v vitara engine half in it (i think the guy gave up half way)
im told its a 1.6 8v engine with a 1.3 5 speed gear box and a 1 litre transfur box.
Idealy i need to get it running first so then i can put it in my other 410, but where do i start??
I guess what i need is a couple of links to some really good 1.6 8v conversion guides so i can start from scratch.
So if u guys have any links or info it would be real helpful, thx
1.0 to 1.6 8v engine change help plz

How far converted is it? Is it SPI or carburettor? And wiring in? There is a write up in the diy section on the front page.

Also what year is the sj410 it's going in? Both now and next. Early 410s before 84 have a different gearbox mount.
Is the engine actually fitted? What things do you need help with? wiring? All the info can be found on this site, have a look in the stickies and DIY section etc.

The near side is bolted onto the mount (but i hear thats a direct fit) However the other side of the engine just rests against the mount i think ive got to finish off that mount.
There is a carb bolted onto the side of it not really looked in much detail.
Both of the cars are 1988 E reg.
I guess i need to know what carb needs to be on it so im not fighting a losing battle trying to get this one running.
Also it doesnt look like its wired in yet so thats going to be a mission as im colour blind lol

Chuck some photos up and Im sure we will be able to help a bit more with carb identification and wiring/mounting the engine.
