This is my 87 samurai, I bought it last september with the engine in pieces and we finally got around to getting her running. So heres some pics of the engine and my sammy. I will start modifying soon hopefully.
heres the motor before we installed it. The guy that took the thing apart lost all the bolts so this whole thing was put together using bolts that were just laying around.

The body of this sammy is in good shape there is hardly any rust on the thing.

we still need a few other parts before I can drive it, the exhaust manifold has a small crack in it and you cant weld it because it cast iron. Also part of the alternator bracket and the main pulley are missing I should eventually get the dust cover that goes between the engine and transmission too.

The motor went in without a hitch we were able to attach all the hoses and wires in about 30 minutes.
The only problem we had was with the fuel delivery, it would start up on the gas we had in the carburetor ,but once that ran out it died. At first we thought it might be the pump, but after disconnecting the fuel filter and dipping the line in a cup of gas we figured it must be the filter so we put a new one in (dont know why we didnt do that in the first place). After the pump got a little suction built up the samurai the samurai started up and kept on running. Ill get some pictures of some stock wheeling soon hopefully and I hope to start modifying in the near future as well.
