Engine £50-£250 (need all the ancils).

Low pressure fuel pump(£35), 1.3 coil & dizzy (£30-£40 ish, possibly cheaper depending on seller) if converting SPi to carb

If going SPi or MPFi you'll need a fuel tank from an injection SJ with built in fuel pump, although I think you can use an inline high pressure pump.

413 gearbox £50-£100
1.3 flywheel £20 to £50

Adaptor plate £40, not required but makes a tidier job in my opinion.

413 engine mounts or custom / homemade mounts.

Electrical bits from doner vehicle if going injection.


Hope that makes sense, if I've missed anything I'm sure someone will add to it.

If its a 1.6 carb engine then use the 1.6 fuel pump and distributor. If its EFI then you can use an external pump but they tend to be noisy and less reliable. The 1.6 16V is the better engine but requires more wiring.
