Was out at Ipswich Spare Parts (wrecker) on the Warrego Highway yesterday, and they were wrecking an early Vitara. It did not have a carby though, and was the one with the 3 speed auto (Trimatic I belive).

Dont have a clue what they would want for it, and dont know what sort of condition it was in, short of the missing carby.

After i get the new engine, im going to save up and get some extractors and 2" exhaust.

Any suggestions on brands, or future mods?

After a searching for a week there has been a change of plans, instead of getting a 1.6l vitara engine, i will rebuild my 1.3L because of the long waiting list on parts. Im getting the rebuild at suzi sport in albion, they are about a $1000 cheaper than anywhere else i have looked. Should have my zuke back on the road next week :D

all gaskets, main and big end bearings, pistons, rings and the little caps that stop oil going past your valves but can't think of the name right now.

i'm doing a in car rebuild are the engine isn't that old (broke a piston as it has a hair dryier on it) so the only thing i can't get at is the main bearings witch are fine.
