   i have t reg 99 westcoast, ive bought a w reg 2000 16v engine. Ive confirmed with the seller its a single plug, but i believe its with the crossover loom? Is there any differences when plugging the 16v loom to my westy? and if so, what would have to be changed? thanks

   will prob have the wrong engine loom - car loom connector
   
   you'll have no prob selling that loom on here as they are pretty rare - get a single plug loom from a mk1

   Update: the engine has arrived tonight, and by having a quick look it seems the same loom single connector to the cars internal loom like my original, and ecu is an exact match. Think ive been lucky here
