Is this any good at all for my sj410 at all ? = ford crossflow 1.6 with sierra gearbox in ? Many thanks sam

Sorry bout the mess of the engine looks in just havent took new photo of it all clean now and the engine bay to

if it runs sweet as, and your gearing feels right, why not?

Those exhaust headsets look sexual keep it!!! Twin webbers would be cool, just to balance out the look of the engine bay obviously.

Ok then lads thank you is it easy to break the transfer box at all as the engine as been upgraded thanks sam

There ain't gonna be enough power from a 1.6 crossflow to break the tbox Not even a highly tuned one

thats ok then mate i just wanted to no as i keep being told that the 1.6 will break the tbox thats all thanks scottie

ive had a 1.6 in mine for years and not had any problems...
although i did snap 2 of the rubber mounts doing a burnout

You might consider upgrading the mounts to polyurethane ones as they are stronger than the standard rubber ones... but you'll probably be fine!
I think a standard 1.6 crossflow is only about 65hp anyway so its a bit of a mystery why they put it in there and left it standard!

Whoever told you that doesn't have a clue what he's on about The most common conversions are suzuki 1.6 engines and diesels, plus there are quite a few guys who have fitted Vauxhall redtops. All of which are more powerful than a 1.6 crossflow.

I can guarantee I can put well over twice the torque through my sj tcase with the 1.6 8V and twin transfer box conversion and it's fine.

i not sure mate ill have a look at the bhp mate and ok then mate ill have a look in to that then mate about the mounts thanks twiss

and i no ye thats why oi thought id ask on hear about it scottie thanks for that and awww ye i woiuld like to see a redtop conversion do you still do the stickers scottie mant thansk sam

you can find the mounts for sale on llama 4x4

personally i would go for the bolt through mounts not the heavy duty ones...
the heavy duty ones are a bit big to fit in the t-box supporting arms so you either have to flatten the arm or trim the mount.

with the bolt through ones even if the rubbers are shot theres still a bolt holding it!
don't just bolt it straight on with no rubber though - lots of vibration!

... and use either washers provided in a kit or the biggest washers you can find... it will stop the bolt ripping its way through the mount!
(seen it a couple of times!)

Tim Pink has a redtop in his racer now... not sure if there are any pics of it though!
