does anyone have info on the feasability of fitting one of these to a sierra? ive never seen one, but did see an ad on ebay for a supercarry with a 1lt and 5sp driveline.. who can point me to more info on these supercarry's?

you would prolly need the extension housing from a 4sp, But I imagine the gearbox would be much the same.

Mate, forget the Super Carry gearbox option. Your theory is good but practice is another thing. The F10A engine in the SK410 Carry is slanted therefore to put behind the F10A in Sierra is going to prove to be difficult. The other option is to use the gearbox out of a series 3, 4 or 5 (11/84-87) SJ410 Sierra or any Maruti and replace the guts out of it with the workings of a 1.3 5 speed (a little more to it than but that's basics of it). The gearbox out of the later model 1.0L Sierra and Maruti is a cross between the 1.0L and 1.3L.
The down side of this conversion is that the 1.0L/Maruti gearbox is longer than the earlier model and the cross member is in the wrong position to mount the new gearbox. It is a prick of a conversion to carry out and you'd be better off selling your 1.0L and buying a 1.3L.
