99 Conquest Chevy Sprint Engine Swap

[smog]

Mark M., I wonder how many other guys will be coming out of the closet (so to speak) about having a 3 cylinder conversion in the works....

al least it will make us think about it. the 3 cyl suzuki engine is dirt cheap in Canada as it was used in the Suzuki swift, the pontiac Firefly and geo metro. it was a very popular car.

it would be a very easy swap in my max iv if I redesign another engine "shelf" for the car engine.

as for the wiring, the early versions were carburated engines. and most use a trottle body single injector system easily replacable with a carburetor.

But, if your going to go with a carburetor if it was previously a fuel injected throttle body then your going to have to get the earlier distributer as it has mechanical advance plus vacuum. Fuel injected models have a very simple distributer and lets the CPU handle all the timing issues. The early distributers are still out there. I got mine off ebone.

I've been thinking someting along the same lines. I have a '99 Yamaha Mtn Max 700 Tripple, never use the sled, but have considered putting the engine into an Argo. Not sure how I would do that though. If I ran the Yam motor in it's power range, I think the Argo would be moving at about Mach 1 or better, lol, and Holy Crap, would it be LOUD.

if you go to a KEI car importer, yu can also get that 660cc turbo engine they use everywhere from the tiny convertible to the urban delivery 4x4.

but I would stay with the 1L for parts availability or go with the 4 stroke snowmobile engine (or jetski engine)
