i know you can do it using suzuki swift engine and gear box and use subaru justy running gear

Got it in one, the G13b engine (from swift gti) bolts into the justy 4wd transmission. True power is lost but if you have above 250hp (can handle 250hp with after market turbo ect) i think you can shead a few also, straight cut gears have just been developed for this gearbox which means less losses is transmisson

I'm currently only in CAD stage just now but watch this space

Could this be the kit to rumble Zcars? well i can dream.....

[JetBLICK]

the 4wd system was apparently taken from the austin ant, which was a concept 4wd thingy

I found this out ages ago, whilst dreaming of converting the a-series to arse end drive. I've since given up on this dream.... for now

I know this is an old thread,
But where are these gears available from?

[ed4ran]

Its not a swift conversion unless hes running the Cultus setup (which is unlikely), its more likely from the Subaru Justy, where the later ones where a rebadged swift.

[Sutty01]

[Jammy]

Don't think so.

[boa-budget]
