I have made end caps to cover the area that i have cut away that are 3mil thick and fit inside the box section, i am also going to seam weld across the top an bottom, plus fit a strut brace.
The reason for the change is to properly turbo a six lump i am looking at around the 5k mark and thats doing it myself.
The engine i have got now is a turbo engine from factory, and the other good thing i got the engine off a friend who has even worse car OCD than me so i know that it is a good unit plus it has only covered 52,000 from now and has been serviced religiously, it has also been treated to a full port and polish, re-mapped and set up with and adjustable boost gauge, last time it was on the Dyno it hit 204 BHP, so i am more than happy with that, it felt fast in the xantia, so in a 306 with the be3 gear box it should be good fun.
It also makes it unique.
I will post more pics once i have welded it.
