Think my engine in my t reg hard top has had its day
Knocking and banging something chronic

G16b from a grand vitara is easiest. Other option is baleno but more parts to swap.
You need an adapter plate or fab up some conversion parts. Also you need an engine mount and a few mods to other parts.
If you want a standard g13b for a jimny I have a very good one.
There is a guide on her in the last few days of how to do the g16b one way. When I did mine I used an adapter plate.
