they all burn a little oil, don't let that bother you, run it till it dies.

the easiest motor to swap in is a 1.6 8 valve out of a geo tracker, bolt in deal with a swap kit from any of the normal zuki vendors. alot of other motors can be swapped in depending on the power level you are after and the level of difficulty you want to undertake.

The only problem I have with the 1.6 liter is I have yet to be able tofind one around me locally. THat is the one I would like to do but I really dont want to spend $1500.00 on just a swap. Do you have any leads on where I could find one besides ebay and local yards?I appericate your help.

man...around here, you can buy complete trackers for 300-400 dollars. I also would run it till it dies, mine uses some oil and it's sluggish, but it gets good mileage and is dependable as hell.

I am wondering what kind of weight is the max weight to run in the 1.3 it goes through a bit of oil.

A friend of mine put a 1.6L VW Turbo Diesel in his Samurai, but he's a professional mechanic so I don't know how easy that swap is.

I have already done the 1.6 swap I will be looking for a 4 bt to put in their next but that will be a bit down the road a 1.6 is good now.
