Hello
(BIG IF) i wanted to go down this route, what's the obstacles involed in such a conversion?
'It will be cheaper to buy one' comments are not what im looking for please gents.
Besides I have already got one sitting all intact at the moment. I'm just figuring out if i should shift the engine and box or keep it for myself!
Pretty simple it seems- or not, take M111 out put M104 in. What's the probs that can arise from doing this?
Is there the need to change components such as engine mounts to accomodate a more heavy engine together with any other other components you may be able to think off?
From my understanding, as well as the actual engine big bits like the following will need to be swapped over:
And what is the rough costings of doing this type of conversion given the fact it wont be me carrying this out myself.
Doesn't sound such simple swapover now does it!
..but reading on crazy conversion threads on the net and here, this would look like a walk in the park. (Remember I have ALL components i need)

- ECU
- Gear box
- Brakes
- Diff
- Exaust System
