·8V Swift engine swap into \'88 Samurai
I bought a 1988 Samurai with a frozen engine. I want to rebuild the current engine (I still don't know how serious the damage is) or swap in a different engine. I noticed that you can get complete used Swift engines (8V and/or 16V) very cheap. Is the 8V a simple bolt in (i.e., engine mounting to frame and engine mounting to transmission)? Also, can I keep my carburetor? I read some posts about the 16V requiring modifications, but I didn't see any posts about the 8V.
Thanks in advance for any information.
