Hey guys/ girls,

i got a qoute fro the suzuki store in WA today for a 1.6 Vitara/bleno engine in to my 1LT LWB sierra and they quoted me 9500 i was like shit they said because i need new gearbox so my question is there an easyer and cheaper convertion or is there somthing i could do to the 1ltr engine
thanx guys

[abclarke]

Fuck me id be rethinking it for $9500

[MrRocky]

pete at the suzuki shop will do u one for 4500-5k drive in drive out

[maloo11]

Tell them to go get f&%#@d. What a rip off. $4000 - $5000 max.

[Gwagensteve]

I would have thought somewhere between to two figures would be accurate.

Might be commercially feasible for $4.5K, if so, that's cool.

It's a big conversion for a 1.0- tunnel mods, all mounts etc.

Do you understand why its so dear and what you are getting for your money?

isnt the other mob always getting bagged for interesting work? like welding rad mounts to steering boxes and stuff?

[TZAR]

Easist option

sell car
buy one already done
cost nothing if you can do it right

[buzbox]

buy a complete car for $2000 sell the rest of the parts to make most of your money back. When all the parts you can sell are gone, call the wreckers and if you still have wheels on it they'll give you $20

i know what there involved it is in the email i will show you tomorrow it on my work email

[MrRocky]

i know pete at the suzuki shop quite well and have had 1600 sierra's done by them in the past, they have all been above board and as for the guys lwb that ended up at suzistore well lets just say he's a knobhead and you get what u deserve, if u knew the whole story opinions would be different.
why not just buy an engine, adaptor kit and get the loom modded and labeled by one of the wiring wizzes on here - $2500 and your done
have a look at christovers conversion thread on outers, its easy just to have a flat plate bolted onto your mounts and depending on what year lwb that could be all you have to do.

Hi Robbie

hey MrRocky thanx for that i will look at doing it my self like you said expecally if there a thread where i can look at only thing is is my lwb is an 84 i dont know if this will make a diffarence

thanx

[atari4x4]

ahh, you didn't mention it was a reco motor. depending on what gets done, the reconditioning of the motor is going to add a substantial amount to the overall bill.

but looking at that list, it's a proper drive in drive out conversion. atleast you'd know it was done right.

[hypactiv1]

yeah it is everything i know that i would not have to do anything but i was asking if there a cheaper and easyer option that is all
