i have t reg 99 westcoast, ive bought a w reg 2000 16v engine. Ive confirmed with the seller its a single plug, but i believe its with the crossover loom? Is there any differences when plugging the 16v loom to my westy? and if so, what would have to be changed? thanks :y:

will prob have the wrong engine loom - car loom connector

you'll have no prob selling that loom on here as they are pretty rare - get a single plug loom from a mk1

Update: the engine has arrived tonight, and by having a quick look it seems the same loom :) single connector to the cars internal loom like my original, and ecu is an exact match. Think ive been lucky here :D

Sounds good to me :p

I love Reading new projects/ see people having a go - good luck with the conversion. That'd bit is done tbh, you've just got to plug it in now.

Any queries feel free to pop me a pm!

I did mate, i had:

Engine (67k with receipts)
Gearbox
Loom
Unlocked ECU
421 Manifold
Enclosed induction kit, think its a simota not 100 percent tho. And with a green filter.
Radiator
Twin fan setup
Front Struts
Calipers and disks

Absoloutly everything for a conversion, and for a bargain price :y:
