the block are near identical to each other , the only difference is an breather hole on the block which is missing on the VTR block.. now you can try to drill this hole i think its around 12mm but the block will crack when you get near the size needed..
also thing with 2nd hand blocks is there normally high mileage engines and there will be a lip on the cylinder wall which will reduce engine output power, so it will have to re-bored & honed to get rid of this and depending how much it has to be bored by you may have to get oversized rings or pistons.. which all adds up alot more then £50..

Some good work gone into this, nice to see you havent just given up with it, although i can imagine you felt like it at times lol. Id like to do something like this with my car but i cant justify the ballache and cost, i fully understand its nice to have a personalised car. Id sooner buy a clio 182 straight out and fit cams to it with other breathing mods and see 200bhp on that, but then again im a mechanic myself and the last thing i want to do when i get home from a 12hr day is work on my car lol. Good work though,il be keeping my eye on this
