I've a g13b gearbox for sale
The m13a box won't fit
For a starter you either need to use the Jimny starter but grind the square carrying mark off the engine block to get it for. Or use a Bosch vitara skinny starter motor

Check eBay and Google the conversion for the Bosch number or how to grind the block
