Check out youtube, there's a few of them sort of thing on there. Not sure how they're powered tho. I would imagine they've changed/altered the axle and put a sprocket on there to make it chain drive. Surely it's the most simple way.


Haven't seen anything like that on Irish roads ever so it would deffo be a unique thing alright.

Will there be enough torque from the replacement engine to actually move the car? The power will be there, but you could end up frying clutches in no time?

The specs from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Carry say that the car is somewhere around the metric ton, the engine (and I assume gearbox) you are putting into this is tuned and geared for a lot less.
