dave a weighed the engines theres about 10kg different iirc

move the battery and get grp wings and bonnet and your done.

plus had more torque to pull out of bends, so itll have more reliable power,

aaaannnnnnddd its more tunable and its reliable with it

this is the reason im doing it btw

Willays xe handles like no other xe ive seen or been in, reason is he doesnt mind spending £££ in the right places, coilovers, set up be leda, whiteline stuff etc

Mine will be like this, put lighter and faster , i honestly cant see it handling that badly

Even with all the suspension, everything else taken out, it would always be even better with a small block, your going to have to live in that knowledge
