Hello, say if i wanted to drop another 1.2 8v engine into a already 1.2 8v Corsa...but it had MEGA high millage, would this cost me the WORLD...?

Could Lee M do it? What would i need to do etc...?

And how much would you guesstimate it to be around?

Cheers for any help given...

And Please dont say " Whats the point, get a 1.6 or 2.0 " as insurance would fuck me over....

Please help asap

Why would it cost the world, no new parts are needed apart from that heap of crap known as an 'engine'. Why don't you do it yourself, i'm sure it could be done in about 2 hours.

you would have toquestion why the 1.2 8v engine. you would be better off putting in the 1.4 16 or even the 1.4 8v engine.

prolly about a ton fifty from lee at a guess.

i'm sure there are lots of local garages to you though that would be willing to do it for not a lot of cash.

Jambo's Engine is £400 iirc.
Swapping 1.2 8v for another 1.2 8v took Corsa^Dan a weekend on his own, I think. It's a straight swap, afterall.
