Hey i currently drive a 97 punto 1.2sx and am considering an engine conversion, was wonderin if anyone had any useful advice or info or sites to go on at all concerning this, (im just beginning to consider the idea) also if anyone knows and problems that may be occured and companies worth speaking to. One last thing if anyone has any gud suggestions on the best engine to drop in.

Re: Engine Conversion

you could try the 1.2 75, dave has one for sale, or maybe the sporting ones, 1.2 16 valve or 1.6 8 valve, gt conversion isnt really worth it, any converion isnt worth it if you cant do it your self as it will cost to much for a garage to do it.

Re: Engine Conversion
