   This would do it:

   Basically,
   Engine, ECU, Loom.
   
   You'd need to get the ECU unlocked (about £80 iirc).
   
   Could do it for around 200 doing all the work yourself
   
   I got my current engine from a 2003 car, with 38k miles for 120 quid

   Yeh
   
   I think the VTR has a different drivers side driveshaft, but you can still use the 1.4 one you have currently.
   
   Also try and get it from the same year car, makes things a bit easier i think

   I swapped an engine over in three days, without a crane.
   If you know what you're doing and you have an engine crane you could do it pretty quickly.
   It's a pretty full on job though

   you could swap the engine in a day easily with the right tools and garage equipment, its any wiring that will take a while

   Yeh you could
   
   I did mine over winter... and only did about 6 hours a day.
   You could probably do it in 12/14 hours... assuming you knew what you were doing and you had no problems.. which isn't too likely.
   
   Mine had no problems... but that was a straight replacement.. rather than a conversion.

    By a garage... Could be anything up to a grand. They seem to work so slow. Took them four hours to change some front shocks for me the other day... Cost me 200 quid and I provided the shocks!
    
    It's simple enough to do yourself.. Or you could get someone off here to do it for a lot less.
    Maybe like 200 quid for someone off here to do it
