How easy was it? What kind of money does it cost? Do you tell the insurence-if so what does it go up by? what would i need apart from the engine, to drop one in my 1.4 16v sport?

Costs from what ive heard £1000+
Of course you tell the insurance, its then the same insurance group as the car you took the engine out of.
And you need the engine, gearbox, engine mounts ant quite a bit more iirc.

ive done a let in to my 1.2 16v pritty much the same.
price depends on what you use. i used chris astley mounts equal length shafts v6 brakes that cost a lot less than £500 and then you need the conversion coolant pipes.its easy to do just follow guide on vauxsport thats what i did.
