Depends how you do it really . Not cheap though . Are you chopping the dizzy into the bulkhead or fitting a coil pack and M.B.E ecu ?

jusy found the sticky

i dont really wanna cut the bulk head so prob use coil packs

[Guest MK1gaz]

Are you using DCOES or injection ?

[hotrodholty]

was gonna keep the injection, ecu ect just to get it up and running for now

Are you having it chassis mounted or crossmember mounted?

 

(just carrying on from Gaz's questions )

whats best, im only asking to get an idea of my options

Chassis mounted

Chassis mounted

can you buy weld on mounts then?

[meXEco]

Yeah about £60.

Sump will be needed-cut & shut the steel one-cheap-or get a ready made steel one or find a Manta 7 degree one-expensive.

Engine mounts are available for the crossmember but i've heard these arent great and it puts the engine where the mounts want it to go-chassis mount it goes where you want it to. (barring bulkhead mods)

Bellhousing-expensive or find a Manta Getrag box-not great apparently.

 

Best way is 45's with MBE or similar-but it aint gonna be cheap unfortunately.

Id be interested in this too

 

Is there anyways to fit one with having to do any major welding/cutting
