Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My Sammi motor into SJ410 project is just about complete. I lucked out on the trans mount, as Suzuki redesigned the trans in 85 so that the rear housing is the same as the Sammi 5-speed, so it also uses the same mount. So all I had to really deal with was the motor mounts and the rad mounting. Since ...

Christover, thanks for all the good info! I've been surveying the situation, and I think I'm gonna give it a try. I noticed in your write-up that you mention going from points on the stock motor to electronic on the 1.3, but my 1.0 had electronic stock. The 1.0 disty has two wires like the 1.3, but ...

My reason for wanting to be able to put the truck back to stock is that as mentioned, these things are fairly rare here in the states. Especially since this one is an 85 and has factory A/C and is rust-free (in the rust-belt, that's a real rarity for anything that old!). I don't want to make any ...

I'm sure this has been covered before here, but please indulge me. Since I'm still trying to get all the pieces to put the original motor back in my 85 410 hardtop (and I'm getting tired of seeing it sit after three years), I'm looking into taking one of my spare 1.3 motors and trans and installing ...

While I was searching thru the back of my 410 doing my inventory on parts I may still need, I realized that I'm missing parts needed to put the engine back in. I have the complete motor mounting set-up for the passenger side (engine bracket - insulator - frame bracket), but on the driver's side I am ...

Actually, I think he was referring to me. The only belt I have is an OE Suzuki part # 12761-73000. Unfortunately I don't have a clue which motor this belt is from, the original 85 motor, or the replacement. I may have to wait and see what the belt that comes with my engine kit is. Is there any way ...

So I guess it may not matter which of the two pair of sprockets I use, as long as I maintain the 2-1 ratio between the cam and the crank sprockets. I'd still like to know why the two different setups in the first place. I figure there has to be some reason Suzuki changed horses in mid-stream with ...

Well, I've gotten my block and other parts back from the machine shop, my re-ring kit is ordered, and I am now going thru all the parts that were in the back of the truck to figure out if I have all the pieces I need, and where I have more than one, decide which to use. Which brings up my problem: I ...

I appreciate that info guys, but with these trucks being fairly scarce over here, especially as nice as this one (99.9 % rust-free hardtop, very nice interior, and factory A/C), I would like to keep it fairly original. I did have a Sammi that I had fairly modded out, and I still have another that I ...

Yes, I'm a Yank, but I hope I'll still be welcome here. I have an 85 SJ410 that I bought 3 years ago with the motor in pieces in the back. I'm finally ready to put it back together, but since Suzuki never "officially" imported these into the US, as you can imagine I'm having more than a little ...
