That's an insult to dogs everywhere Steve!
My biggest question is "WHY??????"
It would have been so much easier to drop in a Cosworth or even a Pinto and then turbo that, both would have given more power than a stock B230FT or even a Cologne V6 with K-Jet (~160bhp) but the listing claims 2 bar boost which if my barely-awake-maths works is 29psi. That's nearly 4 times standard boost of 8psi.
Yes, it'll go well but how long before the rods make a bid for freedom through the block?
Best thing to do with that would be to extract the red block, fit a 1.6CVH (like it's registered as having) and matching box, get your friendly local painter to give it a blowover and put it back on the bay.
Then sell/use the red block in a Volvo - or maybe a Dolomite............. but do the job properly!
