Might be mad, yes yours has done 200K but why would you want to put a older engine in, seems a lot of work for very little gain.

Ye i know it sounds a bit mad but the engine I'm putting in has done half the mileage and is in loads  better shape than mine.
Also the gearbox needs replacing on mine which is a job in itself, I figure for the extra 2-4 hours work I can have a much cleaner engine in her.
I suppose I could just put the donor car through an MOT and run that, its only done 500 miles since the last one so should fly through in theory (Apart from the de-cat issue maybe)
Im just not keen on the colour!!!

Would it not be easier to live with the colour.

We aim to help but I still think keeping / sorting the red one is the better move.
