Here is the start of SS for Silver Swift. It is a 1992 Suzuki Swift Ga with a 1.3 Sohc 8 valve engine with a 3:52 final drive ratio transmission.I will be adding pictures soon. I bought car with a rod hanging out side of block the crank was fubared and the head also. I went to cannada a few years ago and picked up a engine to build. At the time I did not have a car to build it for. I have been collecting parts for almost a year so here we go. My 1.3 is .050 mm over GTI bottom end. More to come!

Yea the short block would be complete but ring gaps were to loose. I ordered a new set of rings this morning! I had went by my machinist word on the rings. Oh well next week I will get the short block finished. I took every thing to him and he was going to check it all out when he balanced it. He said a new set of rings will not throw the balance off. At least I sure hope so! Well he is paying for them and said he would make it right.

Yea I am lucky the body and frame are rust free and straight all but right rear quarter but I can fix that. I guess for $300.00 I got a good one to start with.
