SJ 410 Questions
« on: October 15, 2008, 01:09:25 PM »
YOu can also read my post on the 1984 Sloppy shifter,  I am trying to find out the specifics on what I have,  I am not familiar with the SJ410  I just have some questions about what I have as far as the motor, I know its a 4 speed, and I am pretty sure the sloppy shifter fix from a newer Samurai will fit it, so I ordered it.  It has a sidedraft carb...   Chime in please

Snagged from the earlier thread:

They aren't bad rigs, I've certainly enjoyed mine.  At this point though, I'm running Sammy axles and transfer case.  Your a bit underpowered at 45hp compared to the 65 of an SJ-413.

Your transfer case is 10% lower then a stock Sammy transfer case.  Top speed stock is 60 mph.  Axles are 3" shorter in length, and your springs are 3" closer together then on a Samurai so any axle swaps will need the spring pads moved 1.5" in.  Metal slotted front grill, much cooler then stock Sammy grill.  Comes with 4.10 gears in the diffs instead of the 3.89s.  Different sized diff, but you can order Lockrights for them.  Smaller axles, same size knuckles and hubs though.

The engine is a 970cc 4 cyl with a Sidedraft carb.  45/54 hp/lbs compared to the 65/74 of the Samurai. 

Transmission is a 4 speed, not the 5 speed of the Samurai/SJ-413.  I'm not sure if your new shifter will work.  Will not bolt up to the 1.3L Samurai motor.

Body is the same dimensions though, so most of your armor will swap between the rigs.  You can install a cage for a Samurai in it.  I think the frames are the same width, but haven't checked.

Rocky Road told me the shifter bushing was the same, so I have one on the way......
