Always thought they would make a good base for such an engine. Some else I keep wanting to do is drop a tomcat engine into a mgf, it should be a direct fit an make for a great sleeper lol.

Isn't most of the cost the actual engine though?

You can get a 1.8T engine for about £500 these days.

Most of the money is because you need to cut the chassis leg, which is bonded aluminium

how much torque? That much torque and turbocharged power delivery will make that very hairy in the bends i imagine

Looks like you'd need to remove the engine to change the oil!
