8v - prob be liquid pas...

well if you go for a dispac engine, these normal have the multi rib setup..

so will need to change the bottom pully to twin v, will need alt to match, and also the pas pump of an xe to match too

Do u want to keep the P/S??Dosnt really matter any will be fine.

Most ppl like myself prefer the later dis-pack engine as they are newer and are more likely to have less miles but thats not garaunteed.

I'll tell yee
torque is the size of the bangs
power is the amount of bangs, thats why to get more power people up the revs, why do you think f1 cars rev to 18k.

19,000 rpm limit, as stipulated by the FIA, few years ago the BMW engine revved to over 20,000rpm

or if you have any other tips on getting the conversion done please let me know

bit gutted to day as my local garage wont do it for me and said it would be best to take it to a garage that has done them in the past and knows the ins & outs of fitting one.
