i was sold my sj413 with the 1.6 8v vitara engine now yes its an 8v etc etc but ive never seen sj or vitara engines at all before, but my problem is ive now got a manual for it and looking at pics of the engine im thinking its just the original sj engine what do you guys think?

It will have the engine CC stamped on it, around where this arrow points.
My vit engine says "1590cc", samurai/sj engines will say "1324cc" or "1298cc"

As twiss says, its deffo got 413 intake on the carb, they do fit on a vit carb but need to be modified as to not interfere with the choke.
In general the 1300 and 1600 8vs look pretty much identical, the 1.6 just has a longer stroke and taller block.

If it's got a handbrake drum attached to the box, it's probably a 410 box.

I would get a professional to do the gear welding though, you don't want it to snap off!!!

Put the tbox in Lo. Mark the input and an output. The input should spin 2.5 times to 1rotation on the output if its a 410 tbox.

it does have the handbrake drum on the box the same as what's on my SJ, the other spare i have has been stripped, (selector and flanges) so just bare box left..
