you will need a decent bank balance,
if you look in total vaux etc there do kits for conversion,
soz cant b any more help,but have alook at the kit,driveshafts etc

i agree with ste on this one, imagine how much the markup wil be on these so called kits. They will probably be making ?300 profit on a ?500 kit.

If anybody on this site knows what is involved with this kind of conversionits its ste_sa, our residant big block conversion guru. Ask hiim nicely and im sure he will tell you everything that is involved in this conversion

Mine cost me about ?500 inc engine and gearbox to put in. That was with me doing all the work.

www.valvers.com will tell you what you will need.

You'll also need GSi/SRi fuel tank and fuel lines.

You'll also need some balls to get the most out of it.
