I think you need to figure it out yourself, to be honest.

There aren't pre-set lists because the parts used vary so much.  You need the donor and the existing alongside each other.  The one gotcha I think you're going to encounter is likely to be the dizzi - you'll want to use the PB unit, so you'll need the adaptor ring, which I think can be supplied by TSR.

Re-use your head, if it's fit.  If it's part of the 'tired old engine' then you really want it skimmed and to be fitted with new valve guides.  I don't think going in from cold at this point that you're likely to come out at the start of next week with a running car.  :undecided:

Use a 2E dizzy if you can't get hold of an adapter plate. Doing this conversion at the mo.

- Mk3 breather hose setup or blanking plate (TSR do them)
- Mk3 2.0 spark plugs
- Standard clutch is fine but worth replacing if everything is in bits and you don't know the history (in my opinion)
- Engine mounts are probs worth doing while everything is out

or just use the existing breather, rip off the hose and whack a huge nut bolt with a washer either side, worked for me! and i also used normal 1.8 8v spark plugs should i be using 2l ones.......
