Anyone like to help with an engine swap?

Post by Oscar »

I'm probably going to swap out the engine that Tim sourced with the lump in Failliffe. Can anyone in South-East help? I'll provide curry....

Out of interest Oscar, have you had any garage quotes for the job? Bearing in mind that you'll need a decent space to do the job, a hoist, ehhh pit/ramp .... just a thought

Edit: of course I'll be available to assist with the curry :wink:

You just live too far away from Wales - that's the problem!

Seriously though, if I was nearby I would give you a hand. (I find it more relaxing working on other people's cars, as if everything goes wrong you can just walk away and still have a car yourself :wink: )

I'd help, but I know nothing, and live a very long way away.

Other than that...cakes sound good.

If you were south west rather than south east, and if I had the time, I'd do it in a day.
Sadly, I have next to no spare time right now, and you are far away.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
