Gone to change the HG today and the liners have dropped so its a no go for a decent fix. thinking I could save the money on gaskets and bolts and put that towards another engine / donor car. As I also need a new ecu I am thinking that maybe I could fit a different engine altogether and do away with the K series?
So what engines are a suitable option? will the T series fit without too many issues? or would a 2.0 diesel from an old 220 do the job or will it be too much of a slug without a turbo diesel? cant remember if they did a 2.0 non turbo petrol version of the T series, would that be a better option?
The other half loves the car so I am looking at options other than bodging it for a quick sale and then buying another one and starting the cycle all over again?
