Advice on what to replace the 4G32 Saturn Engine with?

Keen to keep costs down and ideally looking to keep the swap fairly straight forward. But a 2 liter and extra power would be nice.

4G61/4G62/4G63 ?????

Any advice on engine upgrades/swaps??

So here I begin.

This little beastie was a little neglected on the side of the road and so I decided to rescue her.

She is mostly original. I'm gradually fixing her up.

Gearbox is freshly refurbished with an extra 5th gear.

The Green Machine interior is good and the engine (1600 Saturn 4G32) is running fairly well from what I can tell.

While I'm sure the purists out there will be disappointed, I am looking for parts/advice on simple and cost effective:

• Motor upgrade (extra power)
• Lowering kit/parts
• Lock or tight diff
• Any other bolt on upgrades

Any feedback, comments, parts, motors etc is most welcome

Nice Colt,

I've just purchased a '73 1600 Colt. She is in good nick but I am keen to upgrade the engine, can anyone advise on a straight forward (low cost) engine replacement for a 4G32? I'm keen to find a 2l ?

Cheers

Hi,

Dig your colt. Not sure if you found a place to look at the Carbaretta, but I was recommended the guys

Have not used them yet so can't recommend as such.

Also if anyone can recommend an engine upgrade for my Saturn 1600 4g32 I would be very very keen to hear???

(will be putting some pics and posts up shortly).

To stop a new post being made everytime someone joins up, I'm making this post so everyone can list a few details about them selves. That way we know who we are talking to aswell. Post pointless crap and it'll get deleeted.
