u will need the header tank too matey, engine mounts r the same and yes they will probably insure it as a gsi but still might be more because its been modified

You will need quite a lot from the old car. Not sure about engine mounts, but will need, ecu, loom, driveshafts, gearbox, engine with inlet/outlet manifolds and probably the exhaust system. The crucial thing is the transponder, get the chip out of the donor cars fob. Bigger suspension, and brakes can be added later. :thumbs:
