G series to M series motor swap

Thanks Lambert, but thats not strictly what I've done. My car is 2006, so a M series VVT shell/wiring/chassis (like Dreadnaught), but a M series non-VVT gearbox fitted to the vvt engine

I think @Old Neil is wanting to put a vvt M series engine into a G series car, thus the bell housing questions. Unfortunately that's where my knowledge runs out, having never fiddled with a G series engine/box.

Can't i put a r7me gearbox into my early jimny, is the later transfer case separate like my early jimny

Yes, It'll fit exactly as the current gearbox does without needing to modify the rear bracket. Only difference, as far as I know, is the bell housing shape Your G series chassis should have the same gearbox/engine rear mount and gearstick/transfer-box setup as the early m series chassis. Not sure about the intermediate prop, but would expect it to be the same.

Someone who has seen both chassis will tell you (g series and m series non vvt) :whistle:

Maybe @J999 pre would be worth a PM as he's seen and broken-for-spares a lot of Jimnys

Sorry I thought you started with an older shell.

Are we sure the bell housing is different between G and M series engines? I have both so I will get some pictures to compare.
I know that the G16 bell housing is different to the G13, but that suggests to me the G13 and M13 are more likely to be the same than different again.

Chassis is the same.....James has an M13A in his originally G series car.....turbo and intercooler fitted too it has a Megasquirt ECU controlling it.

Not sure if the intermediate propshaft is different.

Nothing is impossible.
