when i did it i bought the whole car then you know you have everything you need, it cost me 150 for the lot the car was rusty and only fit for the scrappy so got it cheap!!! So are you doing the conversion youself ???

Hi,

Yes I was thinking of it, just taken the df engine out to do tappets but after all that, they still rattle after being left or short journeys,

Was thinking of a scooby...Myself and me and the outlaw, hes a old time mechanic...

Is it difficult.

Cheers.

hard depends on how you look at it, im a mechanic by trade have all the tools i needed and a good understanding of vehicle electrics, its more than possible to do it your self, and most parts are availabe of the self, things like wireing diagrams to "done" looms, exhausts engine mounts, plus you need to decide on either a bellhousing conversion or a conversion plate, i have the plate meathod on mine but thats due to the bellhousing kits only being in the prototype stage!!

It all really depends on what parts you use and who installs.
