Before you put money into a rebuild i would remove the head and check the cyl walls.  They are thin to start in new motors and I have seen some wear right through into the next chamber....  Maybe check that before you buy a rebuild kit.  My friends father had a samurai like this that he just drove around the farm for years... lol

A 1.6 16v/8v would get your 5th gear back  ;D

Yeah honestly it is not really worth the $$ compared to putting in a 1.6

If you go with a 1.6L 8v you can cheat and use your existing intake and exhaust.  Then all you need is engine mounts and the transmission adapter.  Throw on a side-draft carb and you can run at all sorts of fun angles.

I got a 16v and will have the stock wiring and ECM as soon as my buddy gets it out of the car I gave him. If you are interested $750.00. I am in Salem, Oregon.
