Or is it a SJ-410 with a Samurai drivetrain transplanted? I ask because there was no such thing as a 1985 Samurai in the US. r@m Krylon.. 06-02-2002, 10:51 AM Originally posted by Root Moose Is it a Samurai or a SJ-413 with narrow axles?

Is there differences? Root Moose 06-03-2002, 07:59 PM Yes! Make sure it is a 1.3 liter engine (swapped). A 410 is a 1 liter engine. Also, the 410 has non-upgradable axles (not entirely true but in the US might as well be). A 413 has Samurai axles but they are ~4" narrower than stock. If you are going to swap axles this does not make much difference. A 410 has a slightly different body tub. The tranny tunnel is smaller. If you plan to cut to make other drivetrains fit it is no big deal. Those are the big ones that affect buildup. HTH r@m | |
