i have replaced several sensors etc on it so i might aswell swap them over. It will also be cheaper to just get a bare block and head rather than the full engine and gearbox

cost me £120 couple weeks ago when i picked it up all running. I stripped the engine out myself. All the garage have done is take exhaust manifold off and take head off to find a not very nice site garage is just next to my work, next street up so isnt to bad, car gets towed by my dads disco so thats free, phone calls are made on work phones, all very short, "hello im looking for............" them sorry dont have one" or "yep that will be £650 delivered"
