Replied by yakuza on topic Engine swapping
the m16 swap is easy. It is a straight fit, no hassle compared to other engine swaps.
I have no idea what is with your english insurances thoiugh.
Since swapping the engine, i have however changed the transmission and the rear diff.. and my clutch is smelly if pushed, even though it was changed with the engine. I had the weak gearbox from 2005 to 2009. Might be a heavy foot as well.
Still worth it anyways.
If your engine is sluggish it might be a congested catalytic converter as well.
I went from third gear 80kmt max up a local hill to 120kmt fifth gear on the same hill after fixing my cats and swapping to an m16..
