thanks guys , it great to hear all your feedback, my main reason for hunting down a second engine was manly to have a good strong well spected engine with good HP and keep the original engine standard.just been missing out on engines here because they sell fast , and was looking at different options .
On another matter I have a strange number stamped on my block , I was told when I purchased the car the engine had been cooked and the block and head were replaced, on the raised rectangle below the turbo is a number CLBNHC and looks like 45. I5 or something, looks like it's been stamped by a child .[img]webkit-fake-url://20d1d353-1ead-4cfd-ad3a-0add2b9acc48/imagejpeg[/img]
any ideas, there are no numbers on the front of the block under the thermostat. ??
