Hey guys,
Struggling to get my head around this..
I want to put either a 1.3 or 1.6 into my maruti to replace the F10a that is currently in there with a big end issue.
Will this kit allow a 1.6 conversion to be bolt on?

is there any non welding options for the 1.3?
Cheers

No mate. Yor engine mounts are in the wrong spot. Either you make custom mounts, or you move the mounts on the rails.

to fit a 1.3 into my 1.o Sierra
I used 8 - 10 mm flat plate bolted to original chassis mounts,
with holes drilled to match 1.3 engine mounts
1.6 could work same way?

Yes that could work, but the brackets would need to be longer still.

I was told it be shorter, but haven't actually measured it.
But any longer than what I had, would be much too long
I think one side is in same pozzy as a 1.3?

I think some 1.o litre marutis have similar engine and gear box mounts to a 1.3 sierra,
but only heard that, never seen one underneath

I just cut the mounts off a 1.3 chassis and welded them into the Maruti. I fitted a Gti so that all i had to do.
