This is the engine, gearbox and most ancillaries from a 2005-ish Suzuki Jimny.
It's the M13A non-VVT engine with 84 bhp*. It's incredibly lightweight. Comes with complete inlet manifold, throttle body, sensors, injectors, starter motor, alternator, clutch, power steering pump.
There's also a partly modified, stainless steel, tubular exhaust manifold (originally for a Swift GTi). We do also have the original Suzuki manifold and cat, which is not included but is available separately if wanted. Pretty sure we also have the HT leads and coils but haven't found them yet.
The gearbox is the earlier 5 speed with overdrive 5th.
We have never run the engine, but it came from a yard we use alot and the owner (whom we know quite well) told us it was a good runner removed from a Jimny which had failed it's MoT due to lots of rust. It turns over sweetly and feels like it has good compressions. We've had the sump off (see below) and it was fairly clean inside with no sludge. While stored at the yard it did get lightly roasted when they burned down their "milking shed" (apparently brushless drills aren't quite non-sparking enough for drilling fuel tanks!!). This partially melted the spark plug cover and the wiring loom, though the loom was cut anyway, so cosmetic damage only. There is some surface corrosion on the cam cover around the plug holes.
We got it for my son to put in his MkIV Spitfire as a modern lightweight power unit with it's own 5 speed gearbox. He did get quite a way through the process of converting the engine and box for the car using our spare chassis.
This includes making mountings,
converting the clutch actuation to hydraulic (slave cylinder included),
shortening the shift mechanism (some minor fettling still required),
modifying the ancillary belt run and repositioning the alternator. We also started modifying the sump for cross-member clearance with the pick-up tube modified to match.
For a Spitfire (and any other small chassis Triumph at least) this will not be enough as the sump bowl is very deep and will hang very low, with the drain plug hanging still lower. This part was a work in progress.
At that point, life got in the way. He graduated, got a job and moved away, so the project stalled. The Spitfire lives on, but is still Triumph powered..... and the parts remain in my garage 2 years on.......
Don't worry, I do have his blessing to move it on and he will get the proceeds!
Would prefer to shift as one lot and it would be nice if the work he did (or at least some of it) was useful to someone else. If you wanted to put this in a Spitfire or Herald, the work is certainly part-done. However, we reckon it could also be used in Dolomite/Toledo, Austin A30/35/40 or MG Midget.
* same engine in the Swift is 91 bhp. Only difference seems to be that the Jimny has a really restrictive exhaust manifold, so we were hoping that the tubular manifold and stand-alone management would free-up some horses. Bike throttle bodies were also on his wish-list for later and the Suzuki M series also comes in 1.5 & 1.6 with identical blocks, so there is a future upgrade path there too.
Looking for £ 475 ovno for the lot. It's located in South Somerset near Yeovil. Collection much preferred - can help load (engine is a two man lift).
