Differences between Noble V6 TT and the common Duratec V6?

Thanks for that. I'd rather do away with the torque converter, otherwise I may as well let the box do the work.

There should be enough space by the manifolds around the V6, they fit a V6 TD engine in there so there should be enough space for the pipework etc which usually takes up more space than any individual item anyway.

Either way looks like I'll need to do a lot of research into the options with jag ECUs before I'll know if its a real goer or not.
