hi im looking at buying a sierra with the 1.3L engine in it.
the 1.3 is on gas but i was thinking i have a 1.6 block laying around how much effort would it be to put the 1.6 in but keeping the 1.3 head and gas on it? if i do do this i would be putting the vitara's 3 spd auto and transfer case in it as well. so what is required in this conversion?

Swapping in the 1.6 is as easy as fitting the BenT or Petroworks kit and away you go.
Why bother putting a 1.3 head on the 1.6?
Vit box will bolt to G16 but the rest of the install is a shitfight.
The floor/tunnel will need major mods.
New crossmember will need to be made.
Then there is the big problem...... Vit transfer has a centre rear output whereas Sierra is offset to drivers side.

hmm sounds like it would be easier to no bother would the standard 1.3 box bolt up to the 1.6? the only reason why im thinking this is that i have a 1.6 block (heads no good) and a 3spd auto both came out the vitara i bourght a little while back

If you buy an adapter kit you can bolt the G16 to the Sierra gearbox.
The other option is to run the Vit auto with a blanking plate back to a Sierra transfer.
I think Joeblow makes a blanking plate.

That would be good but you need a engerners cert for injection and you don't for a carb that's one reason why I went a crab 1.6 plus I didnt have the cash for a g16b can't complain about the carb 1.6 I sit on 100 with 30s and standard gearing so it's about 110 115 kmh witch is a big increase and I need to reco the carb so it runs out of legs after 4000 rpm due to lack of fuel feed hahaha

does it make much of a difference putting the 1.3 head on the 1.6 block?

I had this in 2 of my Sierra, yes there's noticeable power increased, but be far better to fit a g16b and be done with it.
