What a numpty

If he hasn't got all the looms and electrical gubbins , it'll never run again , unless it goes into another 55 ....

Bet thats the reason he abandoned putting it in a Fiasco ...

SHE judging by the seller name (not what you expect) - looking at the feedback this hardly fits with their normal sales items (must be other half's).

That in a RWD fiesta - that I would have like to see. Could have some real fun at the traffic lights (especially if looked as standard as you could get away with - perhaps slightly scruffy even).

With 165 profile tyres ....

Nothing wrong with putting that into a Fiesta IMO.
Have seen an Audi S3 engine in a Renault Clio and it was amazingly fast!

But as said above, dont think you'll get far without all the wiring etc.

On the front perhaps, then re-work the rear inner arches to hide some 255s.

Just asked if he's got the loom and ECU

Several old shape Minis around with large V8s in them. Just search on YouTube.

Best one I ever saw was a Fiat 500 with a Range Rover V8 where the back seats should have been, complete with 4wd system.

'Since then it has been kept in a dry,warm garage.'

Poppycock.
Why is it outside now then and parts are rusty?

 

[stevesey]

Got a reply - seller has loom, but no ECU.

 

[Will]

Very cheap though @ current bid price of £180!

Surely it's just an engine - so fit it with a megasquirt and off you go... ish...

Drop it straight into a C43 using the C43 Wiring loom instant C55, there are quite a few been done over in the states like this with no issues.

 

[Howard]

Just like that eh ?

 

[Adam230K]

Are you sure Andy? I heard the w202 C55 had to have some chassis modifications to fit the 5.4 V8

A bit like the 203 C-class, prior to dropping the 55 engine in it, they had to give it the CLK front.

 

[Howard]

Why aren't you called Rage any more ?
