if I can get the engine started this weekend I will put it through with that. if not I'll swap it out. it will be a 24v 2.5. picking one up on Sunday.

got the car off a Facebook advert down in England.

John. thanks for the advice. the pics would be useful. I have swapped rover v8 into Sierra. v6 into mr2 and 2zz into mr2 roadster. that's where I feel more comfortable.
