I've seen your thread over on V3M.
I've got the gray Williams powered one, that started life as a 1.4, i don't think the conversion is much more difficult because of that, you just need to get the parts off of a 1.7, and notch one of the rear engine mounts.
It took 3 of us to do mine in 3 days, from removal to driving it home 200miles ;D

All the parts chasing / buying and extra little complications do make me think a 1.7 would make for less hassle.. The diff ratios on 1.7's making for slightly longer gears is also something I'd want, with the amount of motorway miles I do! I know everything can be replaced, but the work just keeps adding up! It'll be my daily too so any time spent converting is time I'm car-less.. It's a bit annoying as there were loads of 1.7's for sale a little while back when I was umm-ing and ahh-ing about 340's:D |
