Been offered a 2 litre Cavalier MK3 SRi engine by mate at work for free..... actually been offered the whole car ;D
......Recon I might take him up on it, stick it in the shed and stick in the Sceptre later in the year..... want to get the body sorted before the summer, so won't really have time yet, although it should be a bit quicker than the first swap.... ;D

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

I've got a Vectra/Mk3 Cav 1.7 Turbodiesel and its brilliant, 216000 miles and if I drop from 5th to 3rd @ 60mph tailgaters disappear in a cloud of black smoke ;D
and it once pulled a Triumph 2000 on a car transporter over 100 miles , mind you top speed was 48mph, after that the tail started wagging the dog!

I recon the Vauxall engine is a great little motor, and the Carlton box is pretty light and compact..... and when I fitted the 1.6 GTE engine in the Sceptre I found there's only 3 electrical conections to make.....  . I'm hoping the SRi engine has the same set up, although the ECU is in the footwell, rather than under the bonnet. And free is my favourite price....... ;D |
