Hey guys,i have bought this hideous piece of kit,but very clean car! 
First things first is get rid of that sad excuse for an engine,how difficult is a sport engine to get in there? i would love to go down the redtop route but for insurance reasons that just isn't going to happen

You dont have to change the whole interior loom. Just the dash loom if you want it to be plug and play 
Not as hard as its sounds. Just need to make a note of what goes where and you'll be fine.
Or you can modify the 1.0 12v dash loom if your mates confident with wiring
