Ge sigma engine swap

Post by CRZYGE »

Hey guys, looking at swapping my 2.0 auto out of my ge for a 2.6 manual. Just wondering what the difference between the wide block and narrow block is?
Also which one is better?
And which one would bolt straight into my ge?
Would also be interested in swapping diff for rear disc setup.
Thanks in advance

Physically the two motors are the same..just that the wide block has a bigger bell-housing bolt patten. Purchase a 2.6 manual complete with clutch/ flywheel/ box/ rear mount/ tailshaft. You will also need the pedal box and clutch cable.

Cheers for the reply mate. So would either just bolt straight in? And would there be a specific model of sigma that would have everything including diff that would just all bolt in? And would you recommend wide or narrow?
