Berrtie:
I'm possibly looking into an Engine transplant over the winter for my Sammy. I dont want to go down the road of a 1600 but i hear there is another suzuki 1300 that will fit? Can anyone shed some light on this? Or any other ideas/input  would be great!

Boggert:
I'm not sure about a Zuk engine, however I know someone who fitted a 1.6 16V vauxhall engine, It fitted in the bay fine but required some mods to the mounts and gearbox plate etc.... Hoad a shed load of torque when they went off road.  :lol:  :twisted:  :lol:

MadMacs:
I've heard a Swift 1.3 16 valve engine will fit in Sammys & SJ's. I know you don't want to go the 1.6 route, but it's exactly the same block. Just a longer stroke to give the extra cc. By far the easiest method. VW diesels are a popular choice also, great for wading as there are no electrics.

Berrtie:
Its more that i dont want all the fuss that happens when you change it to 1600. For starters, im still young and the Mr Insureance man would rip me to bits! Also, if im totally honest, Im not an Engineer, so upgrading like that would mean a converstion kit ect, and that gets complicated.
  1 Suggestion i got from a friend was to put just the Suzuki swift Pistons in, because they are high compression. But I was wondering if the whole engine would fit?

wheelspinner:
Yes the engine does fit just needs a mod for the distributor.
