i rang around some wreckers and i can't get a sierra motor but a swift/barina motor are pretty much the same right?
what would i need to do to fit one?
how much should i expect to pay for one?

[steve]

bah!!! if you only lived here!

I have a shit hot 1.3 with a 1.6 head from grants winch zook, he spent $700 on it, so there's a 1.3l For $700

Usually you can find a 1.6L carby vit motor for $900?

Old 1.3L Sierra motors stock standard should be between $200 to $500?

just thought i'd share that don't know anything about swift motors, ... ok i'll go back to my corner now

[Mike]

if only
one wreckers had a 94 and 96 sierra in storage and it was $750 for a motor but they didn't know how many ks and they weren't interested in finding out for me
another guy quoted me $1200 for a vitara motor with a computer but this guy also didn't know anything about the motor

you need to swap the sump and pick up over,pull the cam out and swap that and the dizzy,and swap your water pump so your fan will bolt up to the water pump

also have to swap both manfolds wit the sierra ones and use the sierra fuel pump.

the are the same motor but diff stuff on them take a bit to change over

[Mike]

so its not worth it then for the $500 to $750 that i was quoted for a barina motor

[Brett]

no you can pick up a whole car for that.

why swap the cam and dizzy?i read some where if you pick up a g13a engine out of a 86- 89 (i think) the cam and dizzy are the same.

i have one in the shed and its sump, oil pick up, inlet manifold, and the engine mounts that bolt to the block to fit a swift or braina engine as far as i know.

diff motor setup, east west to north south.

[Brett]

thats why you nee the mounts that bolt to the block, it will make it a north south engine
