engine swap

[Railroader]

Anywhere good for swapping an 1.4 Saxo engine near Manchester, or Bolton?

Cant really do it myself because Ive no garage.

Could two blokes lift one out of a boot? Ive never tried it

[shifty_babe]

dont see why you couldnt. me and my bf managed to lift a engine and box into a boot the other day.

Me and my mate lifted a 16v lump into the boot of my saxo tuesday night and believe me it wa bloody heavey and awkward but its do-able! the engine had the oil still in it aswell lol.

Would it be worth while for me to put a gti 106 engine into my mk1 vtr saxo?

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Its upto you at the end of the day, my furio has just has a vts lump dropped in and having the wiring and pipes fitted as we speak :D

i've managed to manhandle engines about and me and my dad loaded a vtr block out of the car etc.

What do I have to watch for? Its a swap of identical 1.4 engines. Do you have to seperate the balljoints to get the driveshafts out of the way? Is the gear linkage tricky? Etc
