if you had a 1L then it MIGHT be worth it.
but since you have i 1.3L, go looking for another 1.3L(swift, barina etc..)
you'll need to change the cam and distibutor form your old motor in a FWD motor, and i think the sump as well.
as has been said, don't bother.

what model was the swift? the later ga 2 door had the g10a and 5 speed. i would think this should bolt up to the sierra box as it looks like the 1.3 with the one pot chopped off. but if it is the older 4cyl 1.0 your stuffed.
i would hove thought there would have been enough left over 1.3's around your way for a similar amount.

yeah its a 92 g10 5 speed. i just wanted something so i can drive the car around again. otherwise its to tempting to stripp it for parts and sell it to you guys.

I doubt there was much that was fresh at that price. parts along on a reco engine are over $1000if you do every thing. not including labor and machining costs.

as i was saying before it was only in the swift 2 door that i know of( non gti)they are 3cyl, look like g13a with one pot cut off, and the bore and stroke are the same as the g13b. ithink they even have the angle drive dizzy.(is that right Brenton?)

g10 = 3 cyl 1.0 litre
F10A = 4cyl 1.0 litre
Pretty sure the bolt up pattern is the same, but the distrubutor will hit the firewall. Unless you cut a hole in the firewall or get a right angle dizzy adaptor for $250....
Then you have problems with hoses ( radiator) not lineing up and having to spend money on little things it will end up costing more than $50 to put it in
Save the cash, and find a 1.3. Not to hard to find cheap.
