Hallo guys!

[Terrierman]

Goodmorning and Happy New Year from Athens Greece.
I 'm offroad enthusiast with a few kilometers in my book..
I used to have a Niva and a 2.0V6 Vitara.
There is a thought that is the time to occupy with solids axles so i get a 410.
I have some questions and i think you can help me.
I 'm running to the thread.

Hi

[twiss]

Hi and welcome from Malta
410 is a good, but if engine change law is easy in Greece I would get a 413 or samurai and put a 1.6 in it

[Terrierman]

Nice to meet you boys!
Twiss i have already bought the car
The law here is a little bit strange and nobody declear engine swap
This is an other question... i dont know if the transmision of 410 is strong enought for 1.6 engine...

[ROBBIE]

Nah you need the 1.3 box

[Terrierman]

Thank you Robbie!
Do you mean 1.6 Vitara engine and 413 gear box?
Is there any other option for engine swap exept Suzuki?
What about 410's differentials? Are they good enought too handle more power and torque?

[ScottieJ]

Yeah he means that you need to run the 1.3 gearbox with the 1.6, strength wise they are the same but the 410 bell housing is too small.

410 diffs will be fine, I ran them for a few years with a 1.6, twin transfer boxes and 33" tyres. The front CV joints were the weak link but I still managed to make them last quite a while between breakages on the 33s

[Terrierman]

Thank you Scottie.
What about full pack of 8v vitara? Both engine and gear box..?

Scottie has a 1.6 vit engine and box in his old 410. He had to mod the transmission tunnel to fit the box, its in this thread somewhere http://forum.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/vi ... ?f=22&t=12
