Probably easiest to put the sierra head onto swift block due to distributor facing the wrong way.

Some swifts have the correct cam and dizzy.
Changing the cam over from old engine is easy when its out, a bitch when its in.
Then you can use the Sierra dizzy

Pulleys and water pump may need changing over, depends on belt type,
and wether you want to rum multi V belts or not.

If using the swift multi v belts, it makes it easier for power steering and Falcon Alternator jobs.
But you may need to make an adaption for Sierra fan,
or use a thermo

Iv done this before I ran the sierra cam and inlet outlet ,I kept the swift alternate and water pump and poped down to my mates wreckers and matched a clutch fan up to my water pump pully .wish I used the sierra fly wheel thou its the same but doesn't have the handy timing marks stamped I noticed soon as I took it off the lathe LOL, is avoid changing the hole head I mean u could but I was thinking if ur old engine is worn out ur head might be as well

If you use the Sierra water pump and get a dihatsu charade water pump pully you can run your origanal fan but the pully will need to be spaced out with a washer to line up with the crank pully this way you can keep you origanal fan and runs a multi rib belt to suit a falcon altornator upgrade later

In Queensland if your engine is cactus and you fit another (the same as you are pulling out)) you buy another engine, fit the engine to your car, drive it to a Qld Transport office, tell them you have fitted another engine, they come out and check the new number, they go back inside and make sure that number is not from a stolen vehicle or from a currently registered vehicle and they update the system with the new engine number.

When I did mine, all I had to do was take my rego papers, the invoice from my mechanic and the warranty card from the engine rebuilder (NEW ENGINE NUMBER ON INVOICE AND WARRANTY). The person at the DoT didn't even leave their seat. I guess as long as the engine number supplied didn't come up as stolen, that was all they required to update my registration.
