Can a 1995 Geo Tracker engine that was blown up be replaced with a 1986 Suzuki Samurai engine?

Answer 1

Answer

Probly yes, Check out the moter mounts and see if they match up. One thing I live in Tennessee and we have emissions checks yearly and when you mix an older engine in a newer body IT SKREWS EVERYTHING UP! These mental giants doing the test are all confused and it becoomes a real hassel every year. Just somthing you may not have thought of, good luck

I don't think you would want to do this swap. You will loose about 40 horsepower and the wiring will not match up.

down grading motors is illegal in usa.

but if you apply you must make it meet the 95 standard.

how are you going to do that.

how are you going to put a 1.3l motor in to a 1.6L EFI system.

yes you can swap it all motor and harnesses and Ecu , BUT IT WILL fail smog.

Unless the test it and you put a new Cat on it and tune it perfect and not tell them it is swapped and then run on the IM240 dyno smog and accidentally pass.

if ,if, if , if.

we just put a new 95 in a 86 sammi here.

up grades are legal.

older cars have bad emissions. and moving fossil motor to newer bodies is illegal.

what legal and what you can get away with , 2 diff things.
