Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just brought a long wheelbase maroody sierra ute with a one litre engine and 4 spd g/box, can i just bung in the 1.3 and five speed easy enough , what has to be changed, ie tailshafts ect...
only had it 3 days and power + top speed is lame, i know a 1.3 isnt much of an upgrade but its an upgrade at least,
cheers mik

Different engine mounts, Christover has pics of adaptor plates that he made for his.

Different gearbox mounts, i think he used transfer case mounts to sort his out.

Need 1.3 ltr jackshaft for gearbox end and 1.0ltr for transfer case end.

The 1.3ltr will give you a better 1st gear for offroad and a 5th gear for better highway. That said the 1.0ltr does very well offroad and will still pull 100kph on the highway.

so it aint to difficult then i just need some 1.3 + g/box mounts and similar stuff .
little cut here little weld there, is that what your sayin

You might not need all of the stuff Jim listed depending on what parts maruti decided to throw in your car, my maruti is a 1 litre 4 speed (it is actually different to a normal SJ410 1 litre gearbox though), but the gearbox mounting is the same as a 1.3, the transfer case is a 1.3 but with 1 litre gears in it, and it has 1.3 drive shafts (inc jack shaft), 1 litre diffs but with 1.3 flanges. Mine is a 1991 MG410

Engine mounts on mine are the same as a normal 1 litre sierra.

Hope this helps

Whatever set up your Maruti has, and I'm told they vary greatly, it is easy enough to stick in a 1.3.
