| 316 carb, to fit a 2.5 engine you change the usual engine/box/rad etc, then just swap fuel tanks (easiest) with the fuel lines from the injection car too (and pump, obviously). Then the wiring is already there it just needs extending a bit so cut the wiring plug from the injection donor car too.
Swapping fuel tanks etc is easy, and you'll have the propshaft and exhaust off changing engines anyway so it's only 5 bolts IIRC. I did it and was 2 short days of work including (IIRC) removing the 2.5 engine from donor car.
It's great as now if I wanted to, I could do a few basic jobs to satisfy mr. MOT man to make my car road legal, and I could drive it as a 316 for pennies, despite it now being a 3.5 lol. |
