I'm curious...why the 1.0 liter swift engine?ÂÂ
Forgive me if this may not be true for some of us but,
WE ARE CHEAP!
You want a truck to wheel. You find a Samurai with a nearly dead engine for next to nothing.  You find a 1.6 16v engine for $800 (no EFI harness) and then you also find a decent 1.0 three-banger out of a Metro for $200. You read that the SJ 410 was only slightly smaller than a Samurai and got around okay with a 4 banger 1 liter engine...  You look at your funds. You post the question. QED.
It's okay.
Every time my Heep-owning friend at work talks about his '78 with the replacement transmission (formerly a Peugot) and t-case, the tires, the lockers and now the Brazilian 2.8L Diesel transplant, I think "...there but for the Grace of God go I".
Plus there is the challenge of building a truck like no other... which translates to CHEAP!
Go for it, Jimiweld! Grab on to the tradition! The only truck worth driving is the one that YOU built!
visit with Sean just to be safe, though...ÂÂ
