I'd grab all the wiring, cluster, ecu, engine, gearbox and whatever else you think you want. It has been done before i think.. I only know of Kym and Gwagensteve, but thousands of years ago. Can try contact them. Unsure if they were from a cappa https://www.instagram.com/kymbo7893?utm ... c0MzIxNw== memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=165 |

I’ve done two f6a swaps but into an SJ70 and SJ40. Lj50 is going to make things much more complex. The cappuccino gearbox has a huge shift extension on the back that’s not easily managed and will be a big problem for an LJ. VSS will be harder with an LJ cluster. A custom gearbox mount will be required as the LJ doesn’t have a mount down the back. I haven’t seen a 50 f6a swapped but I’ve seen 80’s where there is more room for the motor. It’s going to be a challenge to keep the 50 bonnet. |

Thanks Steve, looks like the F6A that l had lined up has fallin through. Ok back to your comments. . The huge shift thing - can that be removed and put a top loader like you can on a vitara box? Custom mounts is my middle name as l had to with the LJ81 build l did so no fab issues there Bonnet wise l will be using an80 bonnet which l know will be tight just like the G16 was. I am also looking at a K10C which l believe would work but need to make a bell housing adapter also doable. Thoughts? |

I think the k10c is enormously tall as it was designed for the wagon R which had a very tall cowl. Inlet manifold is plastic and sits up super high No we found no solution for the shifter. We shortened it but it didn’t work properly and a kei sierra gearbox was sourced. |

Little update, I’ve managed to Aquire what appears to be a late model F6A (with EFI). The gearbox that came with it is and AWD from an Alto which won’t be used. 1. Now can l find what vehicle it was actually from. 2. What gearbox could l fit? 3. Is there anywhere in Aus to get engine rebuild kits and parts? |

All F6a’s are EFI as far as I know. Odds are it’s from an Alto? You’ll need a gearbox from a 660cc Sierra. (The last 660cc sierras were K6a, unsure if the bellhousing bolt pattern is the same. The bolt pattern does not match the F8A/F10A. Parts are not readily available locally. |

Thanks Steve, a 660 sierra! Guessing that’s an import operation then? |

Correct. There are a few around. Many are F5a but I think the bellhousing pattern is shared. |

You’ll want a large suitcase. A large duffel bag would be better. |

I think the output shaft spline is the same as 1.0 litre from memory. Jackshaft is very close to 1.0 litre |
