it would be easier, cheaper and make more sense to buy the GT Turbo in the First Place.

you cant just drop a 135bhp engine into a frame made to handle 60bhp or thereabouts.

If your doing it to insure the car as a standard jobbie you know your insurance will be void in case of an accident right? Just buy a GT going pretty cheap these days

You also need an engineers report form,send back the old log book to shannon and get a new log book/cert for the new engine and alo to make sure that you can legakly be insured on the car with the insurance comapny.
