I am a machine! I discount gear linkage, remove bonnet undo bottom bolts and the heater crap lift out lift new one in reveser order job done! I can do a bug engine in and out in under 15 mins whats slow to what ive seen! takes me 15 min to find my jack and lift the car ... As for the conversion, at first I was affraid, I was petrified ... oups, euh, pardon this. As for the conversion, at first I thought "no way" but if you manage to make it look retro, that would be way cool ! Amal carbs and a stonechip black rocker cover ... You could even get to the hassle of turning the BMW marking to BMC making it an embarassing nightmare for the walking encyclopedia some people want to be ! Rusty by nature

Great go for it. It is easily reversible, not as if you are chopping it up to fit sportspack arches and 13's. And may hopefully lead to the car being used often. |

Ok. Need to stay focused on the turbo over the next few months but it looks like I've got my first engine build plan for the new workshop |

Make it easier on yourself to get it to fit under the bonnet, use an auto subframe and 6mm shims between engine mounts, then re drill the bolt holes On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
