Wow! Nice one Shaun. Who's going to fit it? I'd be happy to help if you need. Clean it up good and proper first with red hoses throughout! Then contact TV!!

Cheers everyone the cars been crying out for a bigger engine, and so have I to be honest lol. I've Been looking for one for a while now then spotted this one which was exactly what I wanted/needed!
The plan now is to get the engine onto my stand, cleaned up, strip it down and see if anything what could do with being replaced. Not planning to do a full rebuild on it. Wont be going into the car until the end of the year as I need to wait until I get my 2nd years ncb But this means I've got plenty of time to slowly collect all the parts I need.
Jay, thanks bud! Me and my dad are going to do it together will probably need help and pointers along the way so I'll deffo give you a shout mate, cheers.
Sean, not too sure what the insurance is going to be like. I'll be 19 with 2ncb if I dont crash between now and then *touch wood* so should be fine I hope.
