Have F5A dohc turbo, what's direct swap?

[BLSTIC]

I think i'm going to end up with an F5A dohc turbo 'boy. I'm concerned that the ancient engine may not last. And one day I'll need a replacement

What engines are direct swap onto that gearbox? Or whole systems with the same mounts?

Can F6A direct swap? K6A? F8C?

If the F8C fits that's great, because despite sohc, it's a locally delivered $200 engine that has efi manifolds.

So what's a direct swap?

Thanks
Ben

That's nice, except I read that before posting and it doesn't answer my question.

The short answer is that all of the small frame F and K series motors are similar, but none are identical. Parts are interchangeable, but there's so many subtle differences that you can never guarantee a perfect match with engine mount locations, flange shapes/patterns, etc.
If the F5A DOHC pops your best bet is an upgrade to an F6A + matching box, that will be the closest fit. Although it would require a matching ECU and wiring, possibly driveshafts too.

Ok. Well in that case, if it pops and I find a 660 quickly i'll try it.

Otherwise I know an '05 Daihatsu Sirion 1L fits with its gearbox. I'll boost that and re-certify.
