I think Kev had the tools for the belt change too if I'm not mistaken.

How easy is it to do the swap Ritchy?

Could I transplant one of the pipes from the one working one on my old engine?

[Ritchy]

i dont know never swapped one before, only nuts and bolts though probably just requires a fair bit of watching at all sides as id imagine itd be tight,
jack up wheels off, driveshafts out all pipes off hopefully be able to remove aircon pump tie it up so it doesnt need discharged, support engine, mounts off n just lift it out as one gearbox and engine, im not sure on the pipes as never really worked on one to tell you whether they are worth replacing, if theyre corroded id try buy new ones if theyre available and not too expesive, the moneys there

[Supercharged_Z]

Looks like the srappie did you a good deal, not stripped the engine of all its bits.

Think if you have the money best to replace hoses and pipes if you can.

Can always try the old, "have a space for sponsorship", see if you get a discount.

That oil pipe must be changed it looks terrible but good to see the rest is intact was surprised to see the plenum on it.

[Smokey]

Yeah, have to say I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it so intact. There is money in the kitty to replace the hose so will probably do that. Needs a good clean though to get rid of all the oil, even the old non running one was cleaner than this one!

Best product for cleaning oil etc?

[Ritchy]

muck off spray or similar engine cleaner degreaser
