I have removed a 5k motor and matching 5 speed gearbox from my Suzuki LJ81k, as I have bought the vehicle for a project, and I desire a modern fuel injected motor for it.
Am looking for about $500 for the pair (I will not separate engine and box). Am located west of Brisbane (QLD Australia). Pickup only, as I cannot fit it in the back of either of my Suzukis to deliver it... (I have a block and tackle to help load it onto whatever you come pick it up with).
What I know about the motor:
I bought the vehicle unregistered a few months ago. So have never driven it on road. Around the yard the engine felt fine, and the gearbox changed really smooth. The engine does not blow smoke. The ignition timing was out on the engine, I had a fiddle and got it better, but it probably still needs setting to the factory position using a timing light. The boot around the clutch throw out lever needs replacing, and I think the rear output seal on the gearbox should be replaced also. A general tidy up and some paint on the block and sump should bring up to a reasonable engine.
I do not know how many km are on the motor/box, all I do know is the conversion was done into the Suzuki in 1995.
Anyway feel free to fire me some questions, I'll answer what I can
Pictures:
You can see the damaged gear boot here, and the rear oil leak on the slip yoke (also a stain around what appears to be a top inspection plate on the box...).
I think its a factory carby, Aisin Downdraft of some sort.
