it was my first time swapping an engine, managed to get it mounted by modifying the old engine mounts and had a brief conversation with a friend who kinda knew about wiring and he mentioned something about needing to splice 2 wiring looms together to get it working and since I had no clue what to do I just took it to a friend of a friend to get it sorted who told me it is a massive job, needs a lot of RS Turbo parts and will be expensive so I just threw the old engine back in with the hopes of somewhat increasing the power somehow but again, first car I've ever owned with a carb so I have no idea what I'm doing, quite different from just getting a remap to gain 100hp lol
