Hey, found you through the Facebook group. I'm currently in the same boat as you, switching to the 16v 1600cc. I'll be looking out for your videos! One question, what did you do with engine mounts? Did you get new Geo Tracker ones?
Thanks for watching! I'm using Dodge 318 motor mounts. About $5 at AutoZone. They are not as tall as the stock mounts so the engine won't hit the hood. The studs are bigger so you will have to drill out the holes a little for them to fit.
Yes you can use the original mounts but it'll make the engine sit higher and will hit the hood unless you have a body lift. And for the harness I used a wiring diagram and just removed anything that wasn't used for the engine itself. You can search on Google for samurai 16v wiring diagram and there is a diy PDF on how to do it.
ive owned samurais for 22 years, im still driving a 87 stock motor and havent killed it yet. thanks for the viedeo
I can’t wait to drive it!!!
Good one bro, I wish you were at my city
Great video! Doing the same swap soon. I have the donor car (a '97 Tracker). Where did you get the blue hoses?
Cool. I got the hoses off eBay for a samurai
@@DangerDave95 And the hoses for Samurai worked on the Tracker motor? Excellent!

@@DangerDave95 I sent you a direct message on Instagram.
Hey Dave Check your Instagram😁
Does the original engine mount works? How about the wire harness, how you manage it?

So, you're telling me that thing didn't start out life as a lawnmower?
Making progress!
