I hope this message finds you well. I am the owner of a Suzuki Mehran 1997 model with a carburetor engine, and I am considering undertaking a project to restore the car's body to its original stock appearance. Additionally, I am contemplating swapping the current engine with a 660cc automatic transmission Japanese engine, specifically the K6A model.
Before proceeding, I would greatly appreciate your expert advice on the following:
Engine Swap Considerations
Feasibility:
How feasible is it to swap the existing carburetor engine with a 660cc K6A engine in terms of compatibility and necessary modifications?
What challenges should I anticipate during the engine swap process?
Performance and Reliability:
How does the performance and reliability of the K6A engine compare to the original carburetor engine?
Are there any common issues or maintenance concerns with the K6A engine that I should be aware of?
Cost and Value:
While I am not seeking a detailed quote, can you provide a general sense of the cost involved in performing this engine swap?
Will this engine swap add significant value to my vehicle, or are there other considerations I should keep in mind regarding the overall investment?
Body Restoration
Separately, I am also interested in restoring the car’s body to its stock appearance. Any advice or recommendations on the best practices and potential pitfalls for this aspect of the project would be highly appreciated.
Your insights and guidance will be invaluable in helping me make an informed decision. If there is any additional information you require or if you would prefer to discuss this in person, please let me know, and we can arrange a convenient time.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Faran Iqbal
