have a search and pm them to see what they say?

 

but i think that is from a G60 to 20v,

i think changing a 16v involves changing basically everything, ie fuel tank, engine mounting points etc....

 

HTH (but i could be way oof the mark)

if you can go G60 to 20VT, it ain't gonna be that much more difficult to go 16V to 20VT as the G60 and 16V engines use the same mounting points and fuel tank... In fact, the 16V fuel pump has a higher flow rate than that of the G60! 8)

 

I dunno how difficult/easy it is, but have a word with the people Benji mentions as they'll know the ins and outs of it... 8)

The same question has been asked a load of times - I can think of at least two fairly extensive threads about it. I recommend a search.

exellent cheers, found pretty much everything i needed to know.

also how much more effort and money would it be to make its 4 wheel drive?

That really depends on what skills and equipment you have and what you can do yourself.
