Trans is pretty basic, no diflock. Has hi/low transfer box
This one has manual locking hubs so is rear drive when in 2wd
I'm thinking of welding the front diff. As wont affect road driving.

Not much tbh mate same mounts u use the engine ecu and bay loom from a swift gti u can use the exhaust manifold but u need to cut the n/s mount to only 2 mounting points on the block to let it fit. U can use the gti dizzy bit need to cut the bulkhead. The only thing part u really need is the dizzy adapter which i have for sale so u can use the 90° 413 dizzy so no need to cut the bulkhead.
Box goes strate on gti engine u need sj clutch to go with sj box, I'm doin similar conversion but in a reliant kitten useing sj mounts and box

This one has manual locking hubs so is rear drive when in 2wd I'm thinking of welding the front diff. As wont affect road driving. You don't want to weld up the front dif unless you want to spend a bunch of time with one hub locked. Locking the front makes it a PITA to turn, even off road. You'll be fighting it all the time. You'd be surprised what welding the rear or installing a proper locker will get you! Sammi's are awesome little rigs with a bit of work. I drove one for about a year. I think it's sad to say my Herald would beat it 0-60.  I agree with nitro, that is a pretty easy swap. That's what I love about Zukes, alot of parts interchange. I have a buddy who swapped a bunch of Tracker (not sure what it's called over there) 16V stuff into his. Another popular conversion is the VW TDI motor. I kinda wish I still had mine, but Jeep XJ's are stupid cheap and very capable. This is the rig I currently wheel:  How do you like your shackles? There sold here as Teraflex Revolvers. bc4x4.com/pv/yj/revolvers/ The look like they work pretty awesome. I was sold after watching a video of them in action. Alot of people don't like them tho. They tend to 'unload' on steep climbs. Then again, I'm cheap and the Jeep is so worn out it flexes like a juice-head when the wind blows. Sammi's on the other hand... |

Trackers are called vitaras over here.
The 1600 8v swap is popular over here you cen either use an adaptor plate or, as i did ,just drill and bolt through.
You could use auto engage front hubs off a vitara all you do is stop pop the transfer box into gear and they engage then when you finish,stop pop it out of gear and reverse til you hear them disengage.
Another good mod is using the big flanged transfer box from a 410 as the ratios are lower also i would beef up the tbox mounts with fiesta engine mounts as these take a bit of punishment.
Nice truck by the way
I think i have an SU adaptor in the shed if you want to junk the aisin carb.
