No, the 410 has an F series engine, the 413/Samurai has a G series. The gearbox bellhousing is completely different, the engine mounts might be different (can't remember, Scottiej knows). You need a 413 gearbox to swap in the G13 engine.

If you are going to that much trouble, most people bypass the 1.3 and go right to the 1.6 Vitara engine. Loads more power, about the same fuel consumption, and about the same amount of effort involved in the swap.

Look at ScottieJ's build thread for full details of the swap.

Yes you need the engine and box and intermediate prop from a 1.3.

Easiest way to do the engine mounts is to find someone to cut some off a 413 and then weld those into 410 chassis.

Also if your 410 is an early one, before 84 you will need to modify the gearbox cross member mount.

As Anton says I would skip the 1.3 and go 1.6.
