Hi All,

I'm planning a new project for the winter months and i'm going to take the turbo'ed 1400cc engine out the front of a Uno turbo and put it in the back using the metal work and structure out of a spare 1000cc uno (that i already have). I've solved quite a few problems like management, chargecooler, etc etc but i'm having a nightmare trying to work out the gearlinkages.
Has anybody carried out any conversions like this or can someone suggest a method of solving the gear change problem?
a friend of mine suggested using motorbike air shifters but i'm not sure how this would work and whether i would need a huge bottle if it was the only method of changing gear

Thanks for any tips that can be offered

Matt

I've got a friend that has driven a Westfeild with air shifters and he says it can be really difficult to get a good start, obviously not good for drag racing.
Try asking http://www.dubsport.com/ even though they do VW's they have done several twin engine conversions and may be able to help.
Good luck mate

thanks mate, i'll give them a ring and see what they say.
i'll be looking for a mark two uno turbo soon as the doner for this project so anyone who has one for sale in the near future please send details to -
