20v conversion, a good motorsport garage down here in cornwall offered me a basic instal including custom re-map at £3000 including engine!!!! also average donor lump milage is under 5,000. gotta be worth it in the end.

  my sound daft but i want to keep it stock looking plus i should get a recon gear box for the price.

3K for a reconditioned g/box -  where you buying it, Harrods?

If your not going to change / upgrade the engine - then what are you wanting to do exactly, suspension, brakes, exhaust? 3K is a lot for that.

[Conker]

Have you considered buying a whole new car?  £3k should buy you a minter, or a G60, something like that?

Sometimes it better the devil you know

Throwing 3K at a car that,s already done 200K to me, doesn't  make sense! yes you can say "better the devil you know" and all that, but why buy just an engine, when you could buy a whole car, theirs plenty of mint cars out there, that fall into the 3/4k price bracket

You could buy 1/3 of an S2000 - definitely my choice.

[rombonie]

I've got a really nice nearly standard VR highline you can have for 3k

I say throw the money at the car you've got, we want to keep as many alive as possible don't we 

Good for you Mon
