I have recently bought an 82 suzuki hatch and want to get a new engine to put in it.

I am in sydney NSW.

What will fit and where is the best place to get one? I dont want to go throwing away money on something that wont fit or wont ever arrive.

Cheers

What's your budget and how much work do you want to put in?

They're getting pretty tough to find these days. I know that Suzuki workshops are struggling to even find worn out ones to rebuild.

Be careful with those Chinese engines. A lot of the time they mistake F8B for F8A, which won't help you much.
