Engine conversion

Well....

Been on the phone to a few companys today asking around for conversion prices....

pug performace 1600 including the source of the engine, ive spoke to pug1off they offerd 1500 and new clutch and cam belt... and source the engine, ive also been on the phone to true-tec, theres a lad on here thats had a throttle boddied engine made up there, cant remember his name seen him at the shows... if i source the enigne they will do it for 1000 but they seam the most genuine and seamed happy to talk to me...

anyone else got any suggestions on prices or if they have tried any of the above, just really want the conversion done but havent got pockets full of cash..

any help would be great thanks....

diy is the cheapest way
on a vtr it just bolts in and plugs up if you get the right loom type

im not the greatest mechanic in the world... im sure someone on sax-p would be intrested in making a few quid... i live in berkshire btw thats y i was looking at pug performace etc... all close-ish to home.
