its sort of a straight forward job

but £500 just for labour is a bargain

dont forget that if you go 2.0 route you need 1.8 parts aswell

easiest is 1.8 130 bhp model engine from a xr3i or something

sexr3i helped me do mine and he knows them inside out

but it takes time to do it correct, flywheels need machining once you find the correct flywheel
loads of little fabrication bits aswell like engibe mounts, radiators, water pipes etc

get it doen by someone who has done them before and knows what there doing

and ecus dont stay in engine bays
