hey guys,
Been creeping this site for a while now and have decided to do a g16b conversion on my sierra.
The baleno motor is what i have decided to go with but there's a couple of things i haven't been able to find.
First is the mounts. Will a benT adapter kit mount the engine into the sierra bay or will i need custom or another type of engine mount?
Also what exactly needs to be done to the sump?
cheers.
heres a piccy of my sierra.

in that he mentions that he bought the benT kit but also was looking at VL engine mounts or something?
is the benT kit still needed for the conversion or do i just need the holden VL engine mounts?

I'm pretty sure BenT would have designed the mount spacer to use the standard Sierra mount....

the VL mounts are an upgrade to the standard mounts.

The BenT kit has an adaptor to use the Sierra mounts...

It does, but with slight mod (grind locater off) to the Vl mount thay fit, giving you stronger than piss weak 1.3 mount's..
As for the mounts that bolt to the block, just use you 1.3 one's..
