Doesn't seem too bad. Just going to have a good look through and see what can be done. Trying to make it as easy and as factory looking as possable!

unsure if you will get an airbox in the bay, i haven't tried yet but these engines sound amazing with a cone filter on so might just put one of them on

cheaper and easier to get hold of engine, plus this has 3.0 cams in it so also more powerful than a 2.6. ive got a throttle cable and pedal ready to swap over.

Little update but no pics, exhaust is done and got the charging and starting loom on so all that is left to do now is put the engine loom on the car and wire it up, also need to get a throttle cable then its ready to fire up

Where did you get the engine? £150 is cheap out of the car, I need one and they're all £2/300.

Have you looked on ebay ian? It took me ages to find one at a reasonable price, when i 1st started to look for one they was £250-£350 and i wasn't willing to spend that much on one, ill have a look for one for you, i know a lad near me had one but never mentioned how much, i could find out for you, are you able to collect it?
