Hi there. im just new but i have a mate that is currently considering putting a Mazda 13B in his Lada niva 1600 4x4.



Can you plz tell me some info about how to do this. Like what needs to be done with engine mounts, Intake and exhaust, Oil cooler mountings, gearbox and if the front diff can be removed.



Cheers for the help.

Don't think the 4x4 tranny will work. Although, anything is possible. I would definetly like to see it.

There's a post on here somewhere from a guy who did a Rotary swap into a Suzuki (Samurai?). Search for "Zuki R" I think. He had to drop the 4 wheel drive and fabbed a ton of stuff to get it to work.

Just buy my Samurai



If the ladas have a divorced transfer case, you should be able to keep the 4wd. With the Samurai, theres just a custom jack-shaft which connects an rx7 tranny to the samurai transfer case. With a 12a it should be easy to rig up an engine mount also, since the stock mount just bolts to the front cover.

Thanks for your help.



All i really need now is a list of what needs to be done.



Im sure its just mounts, exhaust system, brakes, adapter plate for gearbox, and maybe a modified gearbox.
