Has this been done before? I have an opportunity to pick up a complete engine from an HGT for pennies, and as there's a high possibility my punter will need a new engine anyway the swap seems like an interesting idea...
I know i would need the wiring loom, ECU etc. But would i need the HGT gearbox aswell, or will the existing one from the 1.2 8v fit?
And if I can get all the bits, will the engine be a relitively easy fit? Considering the engine bay is the same size etc.
Any thoughts or comments appreciated (besides 'it's too much work, just buy an HGT')
