[Mr Blue]

Sweet Roberto. Did you get the info you was after then?

Lots of pics please

[VR6_ROB]

yeah I got lots of info it goes straight in I went to hear it runnin yesterday beefy as hell loved it
n reg its out of 90k which aint to bad and its chipped

some guy i was askin if he wud put engine in was saying i had to:

get g60 mounts
jumper harness or summat
4 pot princess breaks
seam weld my bay i think he said every inch
stainless steel exhaust tunnel
subframes

full of crap n wantin money out of me basically
so im doin it myself as lots of people said it goes straight in
just need some lifting gear to get it in n mine out

[Mr Blue]

think you will need to drill holes in the firewall for the cable change wires aswel

seem welding the whole engine bay is abit extreme but it wouldnt hurt to get it done after all it is a beefy lump

good on ya dude!me and a friend done a 2ltr conversion on my mk2.if you you put your mind to it you can do anything!got mine all timed up today i know she aint quite as big as yours but she flies and sounds sweet!going in for its respray this friday cant wait,then i can fit all the goodies!

Good luck rob and much respect for having the balls to give it a go yourself.

no need to seam weld anything, you will want beefier mounts though, 16v or G60 should do it. If you're using the vr6 brakes ( you really really really should upgrade your brakes somehow) then you'll need to do a hub swap or just use the entire vr6 drive train, either way that will leave you with 5 studs at the front so your wheels wont go back on
wiring shouldnt be too much of a git since you have a 90 spec with the later loom already

your front suspension will be as useful as a chocolate teapot too, get it swapped.

Good on ya rob! If you need any help or tools then let me know and i will see if i can help (i.e the missus lets me! lol) All in exchange for a go when y done!

You keep saying that you need something to lift the engines. The whole front of a mk2 comes off you know making it real easy to just wheel the engine into place with a skateboard/trolley jack bodge up device.

wont my suspension be ok as its alreayd lowered n stiffened?
