Hi all, this is my first post, I'm here in England and am looking for engine options that will bolt up to a Cappuccino gearbox.

I'm giving my old Ford 100E Popular a transplant but rather then use the 3 cylinder turbo Cappuccino engine I would prefer a larger capacity N/A engine from something like a Swift. So I'm wondering where I should be looking to find something (if anything) that will bolt up to the standard Cappuccino gearbox

Any help and info greatly appreciated

Thanks, Lee

I've heard of people using the G13B from the Swift GTi mated to the five speed manuals from the Samurai for transplants into the Midget/Sprite series...

Take a look at this page

Thanks Fordem,

just had a look at the link, some interesting stuff on there - do you know if the SJ/Samurai gearbox is in any way similar to the Cappuccino box? It's just that I already have a Cap gearbox that I can use.
Thanks, Lee

Nothing other than an f5a or F6a will bolt to a cappuccino gearbox that I am aware of. There are a couple of f10 variants used in late model vehicles (wagon r and alto) that just might but don’t expect much joy there.

If you have an F6a don’t rule that out at all. They are a very durable and tunable engine.

I’d say the same if you have a K6a motor from a very late cappuccino. The Kei engines run a tiny clutch and flywheel and therefore have a much smaller bellhousing bolt pattern than the g/m series engines.
