thats a great help thankyou.


wot about the driveshafts and hubs?


how much harder is it to fit a 16v redtop rather than a 2 litre 8v?

its not really, theyre both pretty much the same block and gearbox wise.

As with a XE, you need 22spline shafts, cav 1.6 mk2 inner cvs, nova outers.
Plus your best welding the bay etc as well.
Its no more harder to fit a xe.

You'll also need an injection tank and pump.

thats all a great help.


anymore hints or tips?

Use good suspension up front with HD springs to handle extra weight.

Upgrade brakes to 16v or preferably 288mm V6 stuff.
