Anything is possible with effort. Primary swap though is to either a g16b or m16a depending on the year as they're essentially a straight swap and give you a sensible increase in performance without becoming too unwieldy.

What would be the appropriate choice for a 2007 Jimny Lambert? g16b or m16a?

Also what are the differences between the two engines.

Sorry if its a dumb question!
