Your profile says you have an SJ40 - that's a 1.0 litre sierra.

the BenT kit isn't designed to put a 1.6 into a 1.0 car, only a 1.6 into a 1.3 car (SJ50/70/80)

Everything is significantly different between a 1.0 and a 1.3 car. It can be done (of course - anything is possible) but it's far from a bolt in

Oh, OK.

Best to search about a bit - this conversion has been well covered.

Hey Shaun,
As Steve said it is a well covered conversion, very simple.
I've done the conversion on my coily, check out my build and you'll get an idea of what's involved

(Bottom Page 2)
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=33311&hilit=dec&start=30

The hardest part of the conversion will be swapping your oil pick up off your current g13 onto the g16a plus you may need to 'massage'(hammer) your g13 sump to fit onto the g16a with it's new pick-up

It's a very simple conversion with minor headaches, here are a few items that you will run into
Starter motor body may need grinding down to fit
Clutch cable will need spacing
The motor will sit higher so either spacing of the bonnet or body-lift
Air intake will be on opposite side if you use the g16a carby+intake

I hope this helps with your conversion and if I've forgotten anything please add to it:)

Oh and the BenT kit includes that engine mount spacer and instructions.
Good luck with your conversion!
