who makes the best conversion kit????
« on: April 08, 2005, 12:22:29 AM »
There are a few conversion kits out there for the 1.3 to 1.6 engine swap but which one is better????

They all say there's is the best made but there has to be advantages and disadvantages from one to the other. I have noticed some come with new motor mounts and others just a spacer.

We might be getting closer to getting a motor for our Sami so I'll be needing to order the kit.
Thanks in advance for the information

they r all very comprable just get the one with the most parts included. the less fab work u have to do the faster u will be done. you may want to call and see what type of steel they use to amke thier parts.

I don't know who makes the best, but I bought mine from Trail Tough and thought it was pretty straight foward.

Not only that, but Brent is REALLY good about answering questions over the phone if you get stuck on something during the install

who made the original? Calmini, why would you use anything else, unless the best is too good for your application.
