Bought a New Heart For The 40

[_Mitcho_]

hey guys
i finally bought the motor ill be leaving in my truck for good.. its a complete motor with gearbox etc just pretty much everything ready to go, now it comes the fun time... i have to figure out how to fit this:


into this:



although one of my mates is doing the soa and engine conversion at the end of the year for me, as he has just completed his soa and 2h swap on his 40 so the 12ht wont be all that hard for him, so that should save me a few head ache's haha,

anyway ill be rebuilding the whole motor, gearbox and turbo before it goes into my truck just so i know i wont have to pull the motor out anytime in the near future.
any thoughts just post up and ill be starting a build up thread around the september mark so keep your eyes peeled

Thanks Mitch
