Engine mounts for 1.6 vit into 1L sierra
Engine mounts for 1.6 vit into 1L sierra
Ive looked but cant find any one who makes engine mounts to put a MPI 1.6L vit motor into a 1L sierra as I belive the engine mounts are different to the 1.3L mounts. Im going to get an adapter from bent and use a 1.3L gbox. My engineer said he would prefer me to see if I can go this way instead of making my own.

I'm not aware of adapters off the shelf. I helped Christover weld up some adpaters when he went to 1.3 - he has some photos of them somewhere.
The mounts are in very different positions.
If you are engineering the car, just cut the mounts off the chassis and weld them back in 1.6 position - no need for adapters then
that's what I would be doing.

the easy way is to cut a set of 1.3 mounts off a chassis and weld them on to the 1L chassis, this is what i've done and it was a lot quicker than making new mounts.
you need to widen a 1.3L tunnel 50mm on the passengers side and 60mm on the driver side to fit a Vitara 4spd auto into a sierra without a body lift.
