   I have a 1.1 Forte, how easy would it be to put a 1.6 Vtr engine in it? Do they just drop in?
   Regards, Kyle.

   Straight drop with an unlocked ECU and a new exhaust.

   Both engine and car must be of the single, or both multi plug loom, can't mix and match ^^ and iirc a 96 shell will cause you problems with interior looms. but that's ok, as his is the 2000 model
