Re: identify vitara engine
Looks like its already got the 1300 clutch cable bracket, and sump too (hard to tell from photo) and I presume 1300 clutch and flywheel too.
The previous owner has fitted a sammy bottom pully and alternator which uses a v belt. If you are thinking of fitting power steering you will have to swap to a vit alternator and a double 4pk pully. No biggie though.

Hmm, it did come of a Sammi as I got the conversion plate wiv it.
Tell me about the clutch please, as that was my main reason for posting - I intend to peplace the clutch and sort of assumed the 1.6 would be stronger. FWIW I currently have Jimny pas fitted to my 1300 and will transfer that over.
EDIT - OK, done some reading and I see it is the 1300 clutch you need - hope it is man enough for the job?

Re: identify vitara engine
Although my clutch went on saturday, I find the 1300 clutches cope quite well.
When I had the 8v engine it was in there for 5 years I think... same standard clutch in there, and I only changed it after putting in the 16v engine.
