thats the main point is - it shoudl be cheap parts should be readily available; and insurance is key - cause i'm only keeping it another year - if I can get it all done for less than £400-£500 I'll probably do it in September | |

and its an easy job... use the 1.2 8v mounts on the puppy, and lose any PAS it may have though :thumbs: | |

dropping in a lower mileage, slightly bigger engine though, so long as there arnt any issues with it should do a few things: | |

so seeing as it should just cost me parts and relatively cheap parts at that - you'd recommend doing it? | |

should have rephrased that better... the body mounts might be different but the mounts on the engine and gearbox are the same:thumbs: | |

the engine mount driver side and front gearbox mount are different. i assume they will bolt up with your old mounts. if so, quite simple id say. ask sri-co. he put my old 1400 16v into his 8v | |
