[nutta105]

i have a 2l 8v engine out of a cav and was wandering about the complications of doing a swap for my 1.2 spi engine, anything would be helpful

cheers ad.

For starters putting the engine in isnt too much of a problem with the M-Tech conversion kit. The complicated bits will come with the wiring which I'm not to hot on.

I think a guide on fitting the 2.0 loom into the 1.2 loom would be useful.

cheers for all help, is it better to fit it into a 1.6 gsi/ gte than a 1.2 ?

I think the GSi/gte engine bay is allready strengthened so you wont need to seam weld it.

It is strengthened over standard 1.2etc shells, but its still best to weld it up.
