Can be a bit difficult to pull away sharply in the valver engines, cause of lack of anythign under 3k, and a few ppl don't like slipping the clutch in. | |

Yeah the mount on the chassis leg is different, but that wouldn't be a problem, use the mounts that are in the car currently, just swap the engine as said, gearbox etc... don't need to be touched. | |

no compression, its on 110000 miles anyway so would rather not spend money on it | |

u'd do it in a day, dont really need to disturb gearbox/driveshafts etc... powerwise, it'd be higher up the range so maybe, my 8v SRi beats standard 16v's easily but its had money spent, whats wrong with the lump u got in? | |

whack it in there... reason it thru, and ure sorted:thumbs: 16v lump is 90bhp as standard 8v is 82 bhp, u'll need the header tank loom, blah blah...:thumbs: and a haynes manual wouldnt go amiss:D | |
