Hey guys what is the most common engine swap for the MB? I was thinking about the 800cc hatch motor but would really like to do a HR12 out of a Nissan micra. I'm thinking of going with a newer fuel injected motor 3 cylinder engine that will fit with out to many major dramas. Thanks guys

F8C from a Daewoo Matiz ticks the boxes of modern, EFI and ease of install.
F6A/K6A if you want more power.
I haven't measured an HR12 but looking at online pics it would probably be too tall and wide for an MB engine bay.
F8B EFI turbo - Three pots and a snail.

Has anyone looked at a k10 out of the new altos, would this be a good motor or to much trouble. Why I ask is someone I know just bought one on a online auction with slight front damabe with 36000km for $307. He has 4 altos in his work fleet and says the 1lk motor is quite powerful.
