Got Engine - yeah!
Got an engine from reputable breaker (900 with 3 month warranty if we change oil pump and belts - which I thought was good deal) end of the year there but ain't got to it yet. Going to start on this next week. After I remove body, anything I need to know about swapping engine over, replacement is out disco too which hopefully makes it easier. Any tips about swapping engine over or pretty straightforward.
What else should I be looking at doing whilst body off, would people automatically renew clutch etc and other stuff. Car has sat for best part of a year so safe assumption brakes will need work etc.
Thanks all
