Pretty hard to come by re-built but could be fun getting a running engine, stripping it and doing all the gaskets, plugs and pumps? Or risk just wacking it straight in?


The entire world is a Money Pit, you just have to pick yours.

tes engines in dartford kent, aka theengineshop will rebuild your engine or supply exchange units, got my 16v bored out and rebuilt there, and so far 8000mile since its been sweet  :wink:
however for the money u pay you could build with a bit of research a very powerful 16v with itbs yourself
