Kudos will be given to all the parties I get my information from. I have no intention of claiming other peoples hard graft as my own. It could be bulls*** for all I know...
You can see my MB in the projects section to see where I'm at here:

So Firstly - What we already know: (Source: http://www.teammightyboy.com/workshop/3 ... onversions)
"Engine model: G10 / G10A
Specifications: 996cc, 3 cylinder SOHC, carburettor
Power: 38kw (80nm torque)
Donor vehicle: Suzuki Swift GA ('83-95)
Gearbox: 5 speed manual
Installation difficulty: 2
Estimated cost: $1500-2000
Details:
Like the F8B, G10/G10A conversions are also quite common. The added bonus of this motor is that it has a 5 speed gearbox. To install you will need the engine cradle (subframe) from an automatic MightyBoy, as it has more suitable locations for bolting up the gearbox. The G10A has an electronic ignition. While the G10 retains the hydraulic fuel pump synomynous with the F5A and F8B, The G10a has an electric fuel pump, so bear that in mind when thinking about wiring. The exhaust system will need to be reconfigured too.
Later models (89 onwards a.k.a. the MKII) have hydraulic lifters, whereas earlier models (The MKI) have standard tappets. Hydraulic motors are distinguished by a thinner, aluminium rocker cover, whereas the older models have a rocker cover made of black tin.)
Spare parts for this motor are readily available locally and not overly expensive."
What that early model MK1 rocker cover looks like:
And that's all for now, but a start nonetheless, Like I say I'm compiling this info for myself and I'd like to help share it out by posting my research on here, thanks for looking guys, anything to add? It would keep the thread neater if you would PM me any little snippets of info (links, photos etc...) that I can quote you on (kudos)to save the same info being repeated again and again.
Or if this is a waste of time and nobody needs it other than me then sing out too
