Hi, and welcome to the forum, You'll probably get a bigger welcome in the chat forum though. Get some pics of your motor up for us all to drool over too.

Its probably a 2.0l Thurrock 8v, pushing out about 130BHP. Its one of the short listed engines I have for the conversion on my cab.

Not 100% sure, but it may well be an Audi lump, probably out of an 80 - I think it is a 3A.
