Hello everyone, this is my first post on here, so please be gentle.... 

I've got the AGG engine out and am just prepping it with a new timing belt and clutch. it's done a documented 75k miles and in really good condition.

Does anyone have any conversion info they could share, please? 

Would really appreciate any info. Thanks.  :)

Use the search function, there are a good number of threads in Alt engines, though many of the pics may have disappeared. Just searching AGG won't work as three letter searches don't work; using Google or another search engine using club80-90 as one of the search terms can yield better results than the in built search function
Post your location, peeps local who are knowledgeable and helpful may come out of the woodwork
Don't expect any of the pros to share knowledge for free, they are too busy trying to make a crust they rarely come on forums anyway
There are a number of other alt engine forums online as well where a lot has been posted in the past, though I don't know if they are all still running or have imploded into facebook's unsearchable, look at me, shiny, shiny, universe
