piece of piss fitting an engine.....

going to need an mpi tank or mpi pump for spi tank...
use the same driveshafts

has the engine got a box, if not, i'd get one, wouldn't use your 4 speed box with it

just a few wires to start it

[richi]

what would happen if i use the 4 speed box?

[richi]

what would happen if i use the 4 speed box?
It might not even fit depending on the age of the SRi engine.

A CR 5 speed box is best to use :thumb:

[richi]

well what age sri engine am i better with then?

[Adam]

Just get a SRi engine with a gearbox.
No probs then :)

[richi]

is it hard to fit the gear box i was just trying to keep t as simple as possible

[Adam]

Not if its already bolted to the engine when you get it...

But yes she's right! Just lift the shell over the engine :thumb:

[Adam]

Get a crane and lift the engine out the top, much easier.
No pi**ing with tie rod arms then with bolts that dont move,Lol.

[SRlew]
