from the pics in the pm its my old jimny. it is a 98 model, not 2000, has a 1.6 16 valve mpfi engine, 4 speed auto, jimny rear diff and coily front diff housing. don't ask me what gears are in the diffs as i don't remember. :lol:

I think he was refering to the OP's assumption that it had an 8v 1600 which would not meet engineering standards, as the jimny came out with EFI originally.

But it looks like it was a typo :cool:
