I have an 86 suzuki samurai that I have been using off road for both competition and just playing around.It was powered by an 8 valve 1.6 fuel injected gasser and it worked not too bad.I have abused the engine over the years and it fineally gave up.
We have had problems with the previous engine running low or no oil pressure due to the extreme angles that the engine see's.In a couple of the pics you see the modified oil pickup and oil pan.The oil pickup can turn 360 deg and uses a cartridge ball bearing and an oil seal to keep it sealed up.
I have pics but they are poor quality however better than nothing.

The AHU has a mechanical 12mm pump not too much different than the cummins 4bt and some race 520 injectors.I'am using a carter feed pump that was used on a cummins ISB (5.9).The turbo is a gt2052 form a perkins.I don't need a 12mm pump and race injectors but they were hand me down parts form the drag car as it progressed over time.
The acme atomic clutch I'm using is only rated for somthing like 235 lb-ft torque so I will have to tune the fueling to keep it from slipping.I decided to stick with the small samurai transmission and transfer case beacuse I didn't want shell out the extra $$$$ and work involved in swaping the toyota trans and T-case etc........Too many projects for all of them to be full blown.
The transfer case has a 6.5:1 gearset and a rear disconect and I have a line lock to go along with it.The rear dana 44 has a spool and the front has a spartan locker,yukon shafts with superjoints the axle gears are 5.38.The steering cylinder is a 2"x8" double ended ram and the travel has been cut down to keep the steering quick reacting.The tires are 36" Iroks on 17" rims with beadlocks.
I havn't quite got the engine running yet but should be soon.
