As you may know i was going to fit a V8 into the septic, but have decided to spend the money on wheels and interior work. My engine is knackered but i've seen a Mk3 Sceptre engine on e-bay. My car is a mk2 i think the mk3 engine is identical except for being tilted 10% does anyone know if it will go straight in? Will it cause any trouble as i will be fitting it straight and not tilted as it should be? Help!

I'm guessing the sump may well be a different shape if its tilted?

Check the MK3 engine is an ally head (not iron head).
If so, you just gotta use your existing sump, manifolds and carb.

As noted above, you will need to change the inlet and exhaust manifolds. I don't know if the sumps are different. The base of the sump on the Mk111 isn't at an angle like it is with an Imp engine so it may drop in just fine.
Of course the Mk 111 is a 1725cc whereas yours might be smaller. Also, it has a five bearing crank while the earlier ones had three bearing cranks.
