Hi i have recently bought an older model Jackaroo. The motor in it is not running so i was wondering if i could put the 1.6L Isuzu motor in it out of my gemini. they look the same sort of motor. just wondering what anyones thoughts on it. weather it would power it enought or not and if it would fit?

Hi jackaroosed, the Gemini 1.6 will fit straight in' no wurries' but in so doing you will redefine the meaning of gutless .

You should be able to find a 2.0 litre Gemini/Jackaroo engine and use that.
But you haven't said why the current engine doesn't run - perhaps you can fix it easily?
