Mine had 3l cams in it and it made 197 on the rollers beat most things ctr's, tt's things like that sounded immense aswell. Main problem is the rear manifold had to be custom made because it fouls the steering rack. Mine rubbed it slightly when turning right.

would love to do this myself but time, money and other commitments mean no

My front manifold was fine and so was the heater. If you do it get an f28 I destroyed 3 f20's as there's too much torque.
Before you put it in I'd recommend getting a custom stainless manifold instead of mild as it's an engine out job if you ever want to change it
