What are you planning to put it into - Scat, Feroza, Rocky...... ?
What gearbox / transfer are you planning on using ?

Until we find out a bit more, I suspect your not going to get much useful info.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

This is going to sund very negative... but I've done a fair bit of work on options etc etc.

Your going to have challenges in every direction..... using a Feroza transmission isn't a worderfull idea - they are barely up to a stock motor.
But if you can make an adapter plate to join the engine to the belhousing etc etc then anything is possible.

A complete motor / transmission swap from something else IMO is a better idea BUT the Feroza is very short so that limits the options available. Even if you use a divorced transfer, package length is an issue.

If using an integral case, then lenght is a big problem as is rear output shaft height.

IF you don't want transfer gears, the simples option would be to fit a Feroza auto & transfer which will allow a belhousing swap to fit a Suzuki 1600,2000 or V6 as a bolt on.

Everything else is a significant job - and I mean serious engineering and or cost.

I'll be very interested in hearing what you choose to do.
