I am going to rip the M40 lump out and chuck in an M20 lump.

Can someone who has done this conversion before please tell me if i need to rip out the old loom or can i join at the plug??

Cheer's in advance

The motronic C101 plug is interchangable but you still have to thread the ecu part through the bulkhead.
There is NO nucleus.

You need to make sure the New engine has the engine loom attached with no cut wires, its mostly plug and pray with these moves.
