well yeah, its rude not to :) i if you want proper grunt go for an ast8 but its touch and go as to run hydraulic lifters or not, thats a good deal on the 40s i paid £175 for mine 3 years ago but had to re build them and that in the end cost me over £300

everything else lines up fine too. remember to swap the complete gearbox & little shifter box that sits on top.. i spent ages trying to work out why i had a f13cr 4 speed box & not a 5 speed. also the coil wire needs replacing, as it is a resistor designed to drop the coil voltage to 6v. chase it back to the ign sw & replace it with normal wire.

ok i think i remember reading somewhere about the coil wire before.

Where on the gearbox will it tell me what it is?

if you kept the 1.0 loom, then it will work ok... but with a c16se, it won't.





look under the gearbox casing. there will be a code number stamped for the diff ratio
