I bought my Father in Law's 405 off him as a fill-in runabout to replace my decrepit old Honda and it died on me thanks to
the workshop that replaced the cylinder head gasket and left an engine mount bolt off resulting in a damaged head and block.
The Dealer here in Cape Town won't weld the head and block up to fix them and will only replace the engine, which is OK by me
but I have subsequently located a 16 Valve engine at a scrappy...........
Now, my car is the 1.9 carb edition, so this leads me to a question....
What exactly is involved in making a carb car into an injected car? I can get whatever I need off the scrappy, but is it a feasable
proposition to undertake?
The whole sags is with the lawyers right now as the workshop claimed from their malpractice insurance and pocketed it because
the original work was for my F.I.L etc etc etc, but once the bloke has been done over by my Lawyer, funds will be forthcoming to
fix the car.
Pug wants 29k South African Rands to buy and fit an 8 valve engine and I can get the 16 valve for 12k with all the electronics etc
to convert it over.
Is it a worthwhile exercise to have an almost Mi-16?
