is car 4wd, if yes, how to keep that working?
the hard part with swaps
is making transmission adapter that works. the pilot shaft must fit perfectly or both bearings fail fast.
if swap engine WITH ALIEN TRANS.. you need new mounts and custom prop shafts, donor harness and donor EFI system and all that.
actually this car is no different from a wrangler, 4cyl. 100% usa.
near exact same car, 1/2 weight and super nibble off road THE TRACKER, have one now, a 2008 sold 2002 last year.
the wrangler runs near same EFI as yours, (year for year,) both are mAP sensor based
the most eASY SWAP IS CARB ENGINE, NO EFI.
BUT WHERE TO GET CARB KITS?
so run NEW HARleY CV CARB. EASY TO TUNE WITH OLD DISTRIBUTORS.
ANY SWAP IS POSSIBLE THERE ARE NO LIMITS UP TO 200 P, WITH STOCK TRANS AND AXLE
WE know this because at 200hp, the turbo ized kick breaks things, 1 by 1....
I know a guy in montana with ford Pinto body (his joke) on 3/4 ton, chev 4x4 old pickup chassis.
funny to see going down road there....
many folks with blown engine get hungry for the J20

there are no easy swaps.. all have pit falls ,endless.
my wild ideas,,, always wanted try. (have too many in head)
but with higher skills and tools
one could take say any 1.6 toy engine (old and low HP
and make the exhaust fit(sure mounts and bell adapter or toy trans)
then take the 2 intake manifolds
and cut the toy mount side off its intake flange, remove the flange. (toy man)
then same on yours,cut off the flange.
then tig weld toy to your intake runners.(a toy-kick is born)
bingo. fooled the ECU, all it knows is it sucks the same. (mostly but the VE tables will not match) so use toy with smallest valves or count.
aim for 100hp max . not more so the toy flows same flows.
your head is a 80hp head, try to stay there, so ECU works right.
on the 16v is this way more easy,with maf sensors
8v has complex map tables....
the best engine IMO is the toy a4 series.

right flows
and lots in the wild, unlike suzuki
and lots of old once with 8valves
if 2wd
the alien engine with trans works best
fun ideas
thanks
