    Exclamation Engine swap help

    Would anyone be willing to help out with an engine swap? I've finaly got a new engine (c16se) so I can get rid of the spi!
    The thing is, I've never done a swap and I wouldn't know where to start! lmao And if anyone can help with the following thread HERE , that'd be great!

    I'm hoping/wanting to start the swap this weekend but it has to be finished by the following tuesday . Obviously who ever can make it will be brewed, fed, beered etc!

    There must be someone in the North West that knows what they're doing?

    Should all go in on the standard mounts I believe!
