1987 Suzuki Samurai Kubota Swap
It's off a tractor pulled it out myself a while back almost have all the carbon cleaned and might have to ask around then. I'm at the point where I just need engine side I have a diagram of the trans side done was quite easy but figuring everything for that, engine side is a bit complex for a wannabe machinist like my self.

The other motor I have came out of a street sweeper and has a more standard SAE flywheel cover and flywheel, so if your motor is more like my sweeper motor it might have the common SAE pieces. Phoenix Adapters have trans and flywheel adapters for the SAE pattern.

What transmission are you planning on running? Would a toyota tranmission from behind a 22r be a viable swap candidate. Check out. Kubotaswappers for com. This is my new site. Still building it though
I was considering keeping the stock transmission in I saw somewhere on a forum deep in the interwebs that some one did it with their stock samurai trans trying to keep the budget as low as possible but if it came down to it I've heard of people putting 22r trans in samurais so it's possible
Just picked up my turbo for 20$ pays to have friends who go through cars and are constantly upgrading parts like crazy I guess will post some pics up as soon as I pull it off the manifold just waiting on my manifold to come in now.
where to get an adapter plate. You can get most of your parts from www.Acmeadapter.com
