If you ever wondered how to tell this from that in the hopes of doing a swop , heres a table.
How To Determine The SAE Number. Take a look at the chart below. Stand facing the bell housing while it is attached to the engine and simply measure across the face of it to get the SAE number. To check your measurement you can also count the number of bolt holes, bolt diameter and bolt size. Generally speaking, most small engines like a Perkins 4108 are SAE 5, engines from 60 to 80 HP like a Continental F163 or Perkins 4236 are usually SAE 4 or 3, and engines above 150 HP are usually SAE 2 or larger. Because the tendency in the last 20 years or so is to have smaller bell housings, it is now uncommon to see a SAE 1, SAE ½, or SAE 0. But they do exist.

Thank you Fred. Have passed your info to a person who has already put VW Rabbit diesel mills into Suzuki Samuri 4x4 mini Jeeps and also into VW Baja Bugs.
Now he wants to put some appropriate smaller 1200 cc or sooss turbo 3 banger diesel in a '94 or sosss Chevy Sprint, which I think also is a Suzuki.
Seems he wants a true lively 60 mpg vehicle. Maybe he will succeed. Thanks again. |

Remember tho these are the SAE sizes , for engines in competition for industrial work.
The auto folks do different things ,
although many industrial small engines Kubota ect use SAE.
