Apparently it is do-able.

Had a quick look around the internet and found sites that said it had been done on both Vauxhall and Pug engines.

Delved a bit deeper and found another site with two guys arguing if it could be done, and the argument was settled with this

Frosticles,

if you get it done buddy, let me know what its like, I may be tempted myself!  8)

Now that's interesting. Might be giving them a ring in the near future. Going to ask C&R tomorrow if they know anything. Will let you know..........
