Hi everyone,
just bought a 2.8 vr6 lump and gearbox as blew the head gasket on my 16v rado,got this engine and gearbox out of a mk3 for £100 with 90,000 on the clock and as i'm working with a tight budget and limited ability thought it was an ideal swap.I'm going to start in the next couple of weeks and just thought i'd get a bit of research in first to try and deal with any potential pitfalls i may come across,so my question is.................is it as straight forward as everyone seems to think?
any hidden expense?
wiring loom problems?
electrical issues?
Anything i hav'nt thought of,i know there are some handling issues with the bigger engine but i am asking for any info on the actual swap of the 2 engines please.
My brother is a mechanic and is doing the work but i would rather be prepared for any potential problems before they actually happen!
Thanks for any news-good or bad!
