just make sure you have all the parts. including brakes and fuel pump/tank method.

also thing about changing water pump and cam belt whilst the engine is out. not easy after they are fitted unless you are planning to take out again at later date.

if the shell is in great condition, you should be ok. if its not so good, think about stitch welding the shell up around the bay.


have fun

Yeah got some work to do to the shell 1st but im changing a few things as well, will show as a project on here when i start. On the hunt for an engine now!!

like seany said , just make sure you have all the parts and you wont go wrong , we have done loads in a weekend now including old engine being removed , and never have a prob ,

just factor in the unless you can weld yourself , mating the exhaust can be the hard/expensive part that gets forgot about ,

if you need any help just ask :thumb:
