if you mean swift , yes the motor is a g13a from 85-89 and a g13ba from 89 on. it is a direct replacement for a sierra that is already 1.3 as the mount positions are the same , all you have to do is change the camshaft , water pump , sump and oil pickup.

it will not directly fit in because your engine is a f10a and the mounts are different and the bellhousing pattern is different.

yes it can be done , but if you want to do it on the cheap you are barking up the wrong tree.

all swifts are front wheel drive so you would have to find a 1.3 gearbox. clutch assembly, flywheel and possibly starter, as well as the jackshaft.

You would also need the sump, oil pickup, engine mounts, manifolds etc from a 1.3 sierra.

It's a pretty hard way to do the swap.
