Has it been done before? Is it easier to get another car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobisam999 Member 10 Member For: 10y 5m 16d Posted 22/06/14 08:37 AM Author Share Posted 22/06/14 08:37 AM Everything including the flywheel? Or from the converter to the diff? Of course ECU and wiring will be needed, does anyone know the complete list of what's needed? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good now to find a complete unit. Probably around 3k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
