I owned a 1987 4X4 Suzuki Samurai with a blown engine.    I didn't want to fix the engine because it was under powered in the first place, only 64 hp.  It was just nothing unique or different about it and that's not me.  I looked at putting a VW diesel or a Geo tracker in it, but none of it was appealing.  So I took off on a different adventure.

 Here's what I started with:

II stripped her down and began the body work.  I got rid of the top.  Decided to make it a convertible.  Made the doors where they would come off and the windshield where it would fold down. 

I had bought a RevTech 110" motorcycle engine to use in my airplane.  This ended up being a mistake.  The RevTech was not a countered balanced engine.  I had looked at one installed in a motorcycle and it appeared to run very smooth.  After I installed it in my plane, it just vibrated  entirely too much.  So out it can and back in went my Harley counter balanced 95" engine.  I had to do something with the RevTech, so I figured it would be just great in my Samurai.  And, definitely a challenge.   The RevTech is really a Harley knock off made in South Korea.  It is 115 hp with 120 ft lbs of torque.  It should make the little Sammy really scoot.
