[gte-87]

Engine, F16/F20/F28.

Either GTE 22spline shafts with mk2 cav 1600 cvs, or motorsport shafts and hubs.

A tank and pump for injection (mpi pump)

Wiring is easy, 5 or 6 wires all in.

Downpipes for exhaust can be tricky, and c25xe inlets are best for space.

Also, metal rocker covers, and plastic ones are ****ing **** and leak oil loads.

Sorry to jump in but Matt is the wiring just as simple on a let?

the c25xe's are not that easy to get hold of imo and you will need a non immobilised ecu aswell, can run it on f20 and gsi shafts with cav inner cvs, wiring is the same as an xe pretty much, you need to make a frount mount and the gearlinkage needs some grinding to fit, i belive that the rear manifold needs to be made with the engine in situe to clear the steering rack not a big job if you can weld, injectio ank as matt said, need a gsi rad ideally i would massively suggest that you have the suspension to handle the weight as they dont handle that well at all in bends.
