Hi all.
i need to swap the engine from my xr2i into my 1.1 as the 1.1 has seized up.
is this a straightforward swap? i have a complete running xr2i so wanting to know what i will need to swap over.
i'm hoping this is a stupid question and it ahould be easy???
Cheers Matt

I haven't done it but would guess you will probably need things like fuel tank, pipework and matching wiring loom as you will be going from carbs to injection. XR2i brakes and suspension will be uprated from the smaller engined car as well.

cheers they give me a good idea.
the thing i think i'm going to struggle with most is doing it on my own.
like i say a have a running XR2i motor which will have everything i need its just getting it all off and fitted into the new shell.
Never done anything of this scale before.

As mentioned above, pretty much everything needs to go across, fuel lines, tank, loom brakes, suspension etc..... They're easy cars to work on tbh - You can get the engine out though the bottom using just a trolly jack
