   Going to need to fabricate everything iirc no 2.0 will directly fit.
   
   To get a vts to fit you have to grind back engine mounts lol

   Biggest easy engine is the saxo/106/c2 1.6 16 valve.
   Any bigger engines are a job and a half!

    yea see i wudnt pay more than 1k to fit an engine, it might be a bit off work but at the end off the day its only cutting and welding to be done. I will probs doo the loom myself as im an electrician.

    At £35-£55 an hour garage labour soon builds up, hense the high charges of some companies.
    
    Looms are easy but time consuming, again, hense the cost.
