Upon speaking to Adrian that is correct. I assumed (incorrectly) I could just have a VVC head, cams, wiring, manifold etc and keep the existing block and pistons. Adrian reckons that for ?1500 you could have a T series, only problem is sourcing a quality engine due to their age.

Is Adrian supplying the engine and all the parts for you, or do you have to find them? He was reluctant to supply parts for the T16 conversion for me, because if something goes wrong he doesn't want the finger pointed at him, which is fair enough. This concerns me slightly as it suggests he's been in that situation before, and the T16s are getting to a stage where they are too old and may start proving unreliable.
