Sounds very interesting - pics needed for sure!
Quick q tho - why only 310bhp? The let is a great engine with much more potential!

Paid £700 for the engine as it is. Looking for around the 400bhp mark. Bigger turbo etc.. Have had it running once or twice. Sweet as a nut. Waiting on a test drive atm. Have a 25ltr tank under the bonnet with an evo fuel pump.

Tbh if it was me I'd throw the f28 in the bin with its shite gear change feel and fit an f23 with its nice smooth cable shift,
And just as strong, cheaper and generally more available and in better condition.

I'm rather sceptical until I see photos. I hope it is real though!

Well I know Z-Cars do a spaceframe back end to fit a saxo/106, and they can put a honda lump or a motorbike engine in that, so it should be possible.
