does a 413 head fit a 410 block? + 1.6 8v fitting into 410..

[Ladaman]

Or you could have a bit of fun and a challenge fitting an M Series!!

[ScottieJ]

thanks scottie! been trying to find out extactly what i need to do the conversion lol....

No worries

I found a pic for you, this is how I did my drivers side mount, just used some angle to extend the existing mount and then plated the end in.



oh and you'll need some 1300 engine mounts

[Jay18]

cheers lads, id like to challenge myself but i dont have a workshop or amything to do it in so im trying to do the 1.6 vit as it seems the easiest..

[trotter]

as for engine to gearbox fitting have a look at dan_2k's build thread... we've done 3 sammy 1300 gearboxes mated to 1600 vit engines now without using adapter plates.. all you need is some studding and a welder.

oh and a 1300 head will fit on a 1600 block it just makes it a interference engine rather than non-interference

If they are both 8V then it won't be.

I'm a bit confused that you found this, Shuduck on pirate4x4 used to run a 1.3 8v head on a 1.6 16V block and his didn't end up an interference engine even with a shaved head? but I'm not sure if he swapped the pistons or not, he didn't mention that he had?

Just a quick point... the fact that the 16v engine is an interference engine is sort of a misleading one.
The 16v engine based on a G16A engine like mine is a non-interference design, whereas the 16v engine based on the G16B engine IS an interference engine

The difference is that the G16A 16v is a Single Point Injection engine, whereas the G16B 16v is multipoint injection I believe

The G16A 16v seems to be less common, which I think is why people think all the 16v engines are interference

[ScottieJ]

Twiss none of the G series 1.6 16vs are interference

we're talkin about 16v heads on 8v blocks and vice versa

[twiss]

Yeah after our little discussion we've come to that conclusion, although it would be nice to test it if someone has a G16B engine lying around!

My engine is a 16v head on top of an 8v block

(16v G16a engine has same block as 8v G16a engine)

[ScottieJ]

But being a stock 16v engine it will have the pistons for a 16v fitted, they have 4 recesses for the valves instead of two, anyway all G16 blocks are the same, the internals can vary but the casting is the same.

What trotter and I are on about is running a 8 v head on a 16v bottom end without swapping the pistons
