Converting the pussy 1.0 12v soon, and want to drop a 1.6 sport engine in it. Is there a list that lists everything I will need. Is there anything tricky about the conversion. Any help appreciated guys and girls

Only the better, higher spec 12v's come with power steering. And it EPS (electronic power steering) not hydraulic. Quite heavy until you rev the engine, then it gets easier

ah there no need for power steering, i had an XE GSi with no power steering, high speed driving IMO is much better without PAS but parking is a bitch!

engine is a little worse for wear imo, and dont want the hassle of changing everything over from one to the other. get a damaged one and make a bit of money on the side
