USE THE PLATE!!!!! :argh: :argh:

No seriously its pointless waste of money and shitee! , yes my sj has one but the only reason why it has one is because the engine allready had one on it when i got it if it didnt have a plate then i wouldnt bother!

there pointless really are! and anyways its more fun matching it up! :lol:

well the lump is in and almost done however i have got a few issues! Using the orginal inlet manifold as engine didnt come with one. The manifold fouls on the lift pump? Also the alternator only had one lead on runnibg directly to the baytry is this correct!?

Ok so decided to machine the fuel lift pump down in the end (though if i bugger it up it would be a cheaper option :-) ) so after a little shaving the manifold and now fits. Managed to find a bosch starter motor on an old vitara 1.6 spi that fitted straight on no need to grind block ect. Just got to sort few bits wiring out and fill with fluids then check over and test drive!
