Engine, loom, exhaust, fuel lines, fuel tank.
Also need GTE rad/fan.
And a OHC 8v off side engine mount.
Gearbox too, the 1.0 won't fit the GTE engine...?
off side engine mount? Whats different about it?
I'm fitting a GTE engine (eventually) into my project and the offside mount (big metal block with rubber insert) fits into a bracket on the engine bay wall.
How different is it???
Anyone got a pic (and a spare one!)
I've always been told the offside mount is different on the 1L's than OHC engines.
Yeah you'll need gearbox too, but he has a complete gte...
im 99% sure the 1L mount is different aswell.
you best bet is t undo the shock top mounts, bottom arms, anti-roll bar, engine mounts and gearbox mounts then all you wiring and water pipes an exhaust then the same with the 1L and swop it all over in one go. and you will want the exhaust off the gte aswell which i beleave no1 has mentioned
