Hi mate I think the most popular engine is the suzuki baleno 1.6. You need to swop a fw parts here and there and mod the oil pick up pipe etc and you need the gear box mounting plate from the jimny shop. I wasout with Zuki Andy a couple of weeks ago and it was alot bettr on power than mine and he's running 31" tyres. There is a full list of what to do on this forum.

Thanks

James

Worth buying an old baleno for breaking, keep the engine, flog what parts you can then weigh the rest in.
