you will need your drivers side engine mount out the gte as the 1.0's are different.

wiring should be fine as all you will need is starter, alternator, water temp etc. you will have to add in a wire from oil presure i think. i did when i fitted my sr engine anyway. put a gte radiator and coolant pipes on etc.

hope that helps matey.

You'll need to change the live to the coil as it functions as a resistor in the 1L.

agreed. The wire has a clear outer coating, you must follow it back thru the loom to behind the dash, and solder a new one in, or the spark will be crap
