There are no specific kits that have been used on this site and I'm not sure they're available at all.
There is one being built very soon as a complete engine and will be for sale.
Two have already been built on here by Ant at A-Tech. Have a search around this thread an you'll see the most recent.

Both conversions have been done on the later M40 engine present in 1987/8 model onwards

What age is your car?

Welcome.

I've got a fairly healthy M40 which I'm just going to chuck if you want to practice on!:D

Are M40's worth keeping? Dunno./

You're welcome to it.
