Nope.

The Justy is a transverse mounted engine.

The Justy was made, for Subaru, by Suzuki.

Will not work.

But you could use a legacy 5mt in a Justy!

by EJ swapping it... :-D

Eventually, after you made an engine cradle and bashed the firewall in for the bell housing, etc...

...and a mess. A stripped GC would be much stiffer and much, much easier to do.

Someone actually swapped a 02ish WRX drivtrain into a Justy.
It was AWD & ran low to mid 12's on the stock WRX motor.

Search for WRX swapped Justy or something like that to find the web-page. The page has alot of pics & info on the swap.

I was actually thinking of making a RWD, EJ powered, back halfed (rear 1/2 of the car tube framed) Justy as it is basically the same as the KP61 Starlets 5-6 of my friends run now.

Blasphamy!!!!! I'd never tinker with an authentic 360 (our local dealership has one from the first production runs).

A Crazy friend of mine recently wound up with a 360 Van.

He wants to put a motorcycle motor in it....

Thats begging for a mid engine swap with a FWD 5-speed. You could do it on the cheap with EA82T. :P

He is a crazy Puerto Rican that had a KP61 Starlet with a Starion engine swap (in the mid '90s) who's boost control was leaving the wastegate disconnected....

I hope he leaves the thing alone, but he is too much of a speed freak to do that so I can see him putting a bike motor in.

360s have a rear mounted 360cc 2cyl engine (?-hp), so putting a bike motor in should easily triple HP (600cc sport bikes make 100WHP these days).
?- Rear diff, but I got the impression he wanted to mod a rear from a quad as this would get him chain drive & is about the right track width.

I never knew KP61s were popular rally cars until I got a rally vid from Europe & saw KP after KP running.

Again I hope he just leaves the thing alone as it is supposed to be pretty clean.
