Sami 1.6 swap questions

[billybob7745]

Im doing a 1.6 swap in my 92 sami and was needing some info/help from anyone else that has done one. I ordered the rocky road swap kit and for some reason my motor is sitting a little high in the front and tilted to the drivers side. Has anyone else had this happen in a swap?

My 1.6 sit in the same way as yours. I used a trail tough swap kit though. I think it is purposely done this way so the exhaust manifold/ header will clear the frame rail. Mine is still really close but it clears. I've read about people running a 1" body lift to compensate for the height difference but my hood cleared easily.

Thanks I didn't know if it was something I did wrong or if it was something in the way the kit was done thanks again.

I'm not sure on the RR kit but I used Dodge 318 motor mounts and mine clears the hood (barely). There are several write ups on them such as https://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content?topic=114874.0
