I think that is a fairly common swap, but you will need to make new mounts for the engine and tranny on the SJ410 frame.  You might also need a small body lift or a Samurai hood to clear the engine.

I've read that the SJ410 carbs were actually pretty good, better than the Aisin or Hitachi carbs on the 1300 engine.   Although, I have no personal experience with them.   I seem to recall that the SJ410 carb was a sidedraft carb.  Take a picture of what you have and post it please.

The SJ-410 has a side-draft carb stock.  It might be a bit plugged up though, I had one that needed to be rebuilt but I just bought one off ebay instead.  If you go with an earlier SJ-410 carb it gets rid of a lot of the vacuum lines.

I never had a problem with the stock 1.0L other then it not having a lot of power.  It ran like a top even though I ignored it for the most part and would run at just about any angle.
