Sierra/Samuray

Is it posible to use a rear axel of a Suzuki Samuray with a Sierra Engine/Gearbox ? I want the book's rear suspension with a Ford engine and here in Spain must be a Sierra + Samuray/Van/... rear axle.

Cheers, Modest

They are quite narrow and the ratio is about 4:1.1 which is why they are so nippy. They are used to replace the scarcer reliant axles in one of the race series.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

This website shows a couple of ratios fitted to the Samurai:

Having had a quick look at the Net, particularly in the States a wide range of shorter than standard ratios are available. However, the standard ratios of 3.727 & 3.909 would be fine.
