    How easy/hard will it be to fit a VTR engine into a Pug 106 1.1? I have a full VTR engine with loom etc.

    Easy to do? or best left to professionals?

    Also before you say put a 16v in it, its only because I have a VTR engine spare and my mates just brought a 106 1.1, cheapest option.

    its really easy to do the swap tbh, if you look at you engine bay just work methodically disconnecting everything around the engine then once everything is disconnected I'd do it in two parts take gear box off then remove the block makes life 100% easier if you have an engine crane i did mine with out though just by putting the car down to the ground as far as it would go then jack the block in to position then fit gear box then once it's on the three mounts start connecting it all back up again
