Good luck as i can see it not been the easist transplant in the world as you are going to have to fabricate all the engine mounts to start with and i carn't see the wiring been to easy either once you do get it in.

the mounts aint gona be a problem, and hopefully the wiring can get done by a m8, however, it looks like a T5 or a T4 that am gona be putting in as the T4 lump i had my eyes on got sold yesterday so back looking.................anybody this side of the world selling either engine ????????????

Salvo in Ilkeston have a ready supply of both, but they're not cheap.
You might want to try Simpson salvage near York.

cheers

we have a T5 engine for sale , but it wont fit , and i hate to say it , that T4 is gonna struggle without some surgery .

its been done before , but they couldnt get it working right over in germany apparently .

1721cc turbo 8v engine can produce some good power , whats your thinking ?

I was thinking the same why not tune the a** off a 440 turbo lump instead as there only reno engines at end of day so i would imagine you can get plenty of bits for them and they use garratt turbos aswell

BIG thanx for the reply, looks like after weeks of looking and millions of questions later am gona have to admit defeat and get myself the smaller 1.7 turbo`d lump and mod the pants off it, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggg weeks spent wasted but am no giving up, been told a cossie engine fits everything and am keen to find out, watch this space folks. fanx again troops

What engine's do reno 21 turbos have in them, might be worth a thought as you have a problem of sourcing a fwd gearbox for a YB lump cossy engine witch could be difficult as they only did RWD and 4WD sierras and 4WD escorts,

unless of course you fancy a 400bhp 4wd cossy powered 440 that could be an intresting project and as far as i know its not been done before
