change the driveshafts, no need for the fuel pump, the 1.6 brakes or 2.0 brakes would be good too.

Do you really have to change the Driveshafts?I thought it was just a straight swop?I am getting the Engine on Sunday(Hopefully)And i already have 2L Brakes.

No need to change the Mounts Etc Then?

Yeah, it's not particularly hard...

A few things like; the exhaust is different - that can get pricey if you don't want to bodge it

Trying to get the drivers mount was a pain too, Vaux parts man didn't have a clue what I was on about.

Trying to get a belt that was only for altenator, tensioner and crank pulley was also a pain at my parts dept.

Oh it's good fun finding a place for the ECU too

Its only the D/S Engine Mount from a Sport which you need yeah?

What Belt did you use?Do you have a Part Number?

Also where did you put your Ecu?You got any Wiring Diagrams?

Thanks
