You've done well to get a breaker for 600 notes with a decent engine and box. And labour of £800 to fit it seems a bargain.... it wont be a straightforward conversion.

It's a conversion I'd love to do, but I think it will take quite a bit of planning and fab work to get it done well.

The guy in the vid you've posted has some details on M42club.com if I'm not mistaken. The swap took him 3 years from memory!

I was just about to post a link to that! Quite a fast car and he's a capable driver to, but not fast enough so he's bolting on a super charger.
