this is why i wont wind my Hdi up until i saw, test drove a wound up one and spoke to the owner on what he did with his setup. which is a working car.
from my engine conversion experince from the rover, i would buy a donor car just for its engine rather than buy the engine. that way i can hear it running and know what the crack is too.
even this engine i wont give it beans in case this one starts to clatter like the HDI which my old engine did.
but a modded car you built and got it running is well worth it! its your spec and to your likeing! you can have a right old laugh with it too!
i think the Sleeper route would be you
