[sharki786]

i have been looking around the forum for over an hour and seem to have made a list, i love the car and has many memories so wont sell up and buy a VR! cheeky enough.

due to me having the mk3 8v anniversary, i have 288mm brakes etc etc

anyway this is the list i have made a list, which consists of:

ENGINE
GEARBOX
ENGINE LOOM
ECU
KEYCHIP
TRANSPONDER RECIEVER
HYDRO CLUTCH (clutch pedal, spring & master cylinder)
SPEEDO/CLOCKS
MANIFOLD
DOWNPIPE
DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE MOUNT
VR6 RAD+FAN
GEAR LINKAGE
DRIVESHAFTS??-will my 8v drive shafts do?

is there anything else i will need?
Many thanks for looking & helping/advising!!!

p.s will the rado 2.9 engine, loom, basically everything from a rado fit my mk3?

you dont need to change driveshafts mate they are all the same

rado set up would work and be a good find too

Not sure if the loom would work as the Corrado is based on a mk2.

loom will be fine

Kells is our Mk3 engine conversion specialist now!

loom will be fine

  I seem to remember RJ saying that not a lot would swap from a Corrado

fuse box is the same, its a CE2 fusebox like on MK3 so should plug in just fine, theirs only like 3 plugs that need removing to get  the old engine loom out and then those 3 will plug back in from the donor loom
