Thanks nickso, ill give him a bell, its an m50 conversion and the m20b25 will be free to a good home after although it needs some work( noisy top end and i think the cylinder head gasket has blown due to soap inside the oil cap )

hammoj28 is doing an M50 conversion at the moment.

He might be able to help with any issues you have when installing the thing
