Samurai 1.6 Engine Swap
Our 1.6 liter engine kit allows you to bolt in a 1.6 “Big Block” Suzuki (Sidekick or Tracker) engine to your Samurai for that extra power you dream of… and deserve. A bolt-on install kit with mounting hardware and very complete detailed installation instructions. For folks with carb’d engines, pick up an 8 valve 1.6; or for EFI Samurais, grab ahold of a 8 valve 1.6… or if you’re up for the challenge of some wiring, plug in a 16 valve 1.6 and hang on!
Our mounting system utilizes CAD laser cutting technology taken directly from Suzuki OEM engine and transmissions for extreme accuracy on every single adaptor unit we manufacture. Where other companies stop Rocky Road goes all the way with a wraparound mounting system for super strength. It is a mounting system unique in the industry and simply put, there is no stronger engine mounting kit on the market! Our engine kit carriers a lifetime guarantee against any Rocky Road part failure. No other company offers such a confident guarantee.
Kit includes tranny mounting bracket, engine mount relocators, and all necessary hardware to make this engine swap kit an easy install; including VERY detailed instructions on what you need to look for in a 1.6, power gains, and the misc components you’ll need to make this swap work quickly, and correctly.
Some people ask about ENGINE?MOUNT changes, as some kits have these and they look nice sitting in the picture on your computer screen. Unfortunately though, those circular bushing style mounts transmit bad vibrations from the engine to the frame, and into your Zuk. We recommend against those bushing style mount kits. They may look like a cool upgrade, but unless you like sitting on top of your engine while it wobbles around… all day, every day… just stick with the standard rectangular rubber mount setup, which is what our kit does.
Easiest Samurai 1.6 Engine Swap
This swap is inspector friendly. The 1600cc and 1300cc engines look identical. No one but you needs to know you have upgraded to a bigger better engine. If your Samurai passes emissions before the swap, then you will pass after (assuming of course you are swapping in a well running motor).
Please note that the 1.6 oil pan is recommended for use since it has a higher capacity than the 1.3 oil pan. Use of the 1.6 oil pan requires a couple inches of lift though. The 1.3 oil pan can be used but will require modification to the sump and the pickup (not recommended).
