Engines.
« on: 23 June 2011, 17:08 »
Quick question: if my engine proves to be knacked can another 8v engine be used with no major heartache or will all the wiring need to be changed or is it to much of a ball ache to do. My engine is an ev so was wondering if other engine codes would do the same job.

          Thanks in advance

If your sticking with k jet it is easy, converting to something else will not be so easy.
