Ive got the chance to own a 2.0 8v for ?100 for my nova but dont know if to say yes or not, i cant weld yet and have never done anything seriours like this, its a 2ltr or a 1.3/1.4 as mine is a 1.2 atm plus im not sure on the insurance im 19 with no Ncb

By the way the engine includes loom, ecu, alternator, starter etc...

Plus i dont have the tools for a engine change, hoist mainly

Help would be great....

Insurance will be high with no ncb.

You can hire a crane for a weekend. And the tools required are just basic.

Also dont forget the extra cost of shafts/mounts/fuel pump etc.

Its wont be much more than my 2ltr clio i would think, my plan is to get the nova done how i want it and sell the clio and have the nova as an everyday car i dont many miles, its just while i have both cars but if i struggle to pay insurance i can stick one of the cars on my work insurance....

its just deciding weather to go ahead and buy this engine or not :S
