ive just bought a pre'face325 and want to drop it in my cab till winter when ill be doing a m50 swap. is it worth me updating the management system on the 325 to the later style loom a sensors. also to add the cab its going in was running the later system on the 2.0 that was in it before. so what would i need to change on the 325 engine to make it run in the cab :o:

Swap the sensors / engine loom etc from the 2.0 engine over to the 2.5 put the 2.5 (late) chip in the 2.0 ECU.
