I read somewhere that the hubs and driveshafts where different ? ie you needed the 420 ones ?

Or is that only if your are converting a 1.8 ?

Its the loom im not looking forward too, seeing as im going down the "hard but cheap" route

The only other thing im not sure about yet.. so lets say i have fitted the bay loom from the 420 complete, then why do i need a 220 loom for the engine ... or is that if fitting a dizzy lump ?

Being a wasted spark Ti lump, is it not possable to simply use the 420 gsi engine loom ?

Im sure i will answer my own questions in time lol, just keep thinking about it !

Great guide though,it was this guide that made me hunt for a 420 complete tbh, loom, pas pipes etc etc,sod looking for all that on ebay or scrap yard hunting.

I think the hubs are the same, but you might need to use the zs cv joints on the 420 shafts, the reason for this is the different abs rings, the 420 is most likely 27 teeth and the zs 42 or 43 (can't remember which) lol, worth checking the 420 ones though they may be good to use as they are.

Hmm, so 420 driveshafts with zs 180 outer cv joints ? that would be good as the zs i have has brand new outer cvs fitted lol, and then i dont have to faff swapping the abs rings either lol.

Yes, might as well try and use all the new bits off both cars where possible.
