xev to LET

[General Baxter]

are the bell housing bolts and sump mounting points the same ?

[mowgli]

i think they are. its things like the number of flywheel bolts that are different.

Yep they are.

When I put the XE in the Vectra a couple of years ago I kept the same original vectra gearbox and everything bolted up fine on the gearbox and the offside front engine mount.

If its going in a Vectra you may want to cobble together a top stabliser mount as the offside engine mount is quite low down and it lets the engine sway a bit without the top stabliser.

If you have the single V pulleys on the crank and alternator you will need to swap them to the multi-v belt set up so you can still run the power steering pump.

Any other questions or if you need some pics just let me know.

no exactly the same but it does fit theres 3 bolts across the bottom of the bellhousing that dont go back in.

If I remember correctly these are the ones that bolt through the sump - you could always use the XEV sump if you want , not sure if the XE oil pick up pipe is in the same place though.
