urm. you need to uprate the zaust, mounts, gearbox, suspention, fuel pumps, brakes n leads, loom needs changing to new engine, clutch and some weilding of the engine bay for strength is needed.

I thought that as well, but apparently its a bitch to get the new lump in if u wanna keep the p/s. also be quicker - less weight.
