A lot of messing about and a heck of a lot of different parts I'm sure.

You will prob need full engine and gearbox, wiring loom, ecu, mountings coolant hoses and all manner of other parts.

Can you not just get a engine shipped over from mainland uk?

As said, a lot of work. The inlet and exhaust are on opposing sides, so you would need another exhaust.

The suspension is different as well.
