Still serching for a K-series 1,8 ready to install in my 1,4 SuperSport, so if anyone have one in good condition, please let me know...

Otherwise: I allready have a 1,8 VVC sitting in my garage - but I don't know the condition. Therefore - would it make sence to by e.g. this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-MG-1-8-VVTI-160BHP...

And a reconditioned one seems like value for the money... And should be the best start for an upgrade, right?

The thought was the to upgrade this rebuilt engine with a DVA K06 kit... ??

And if so, what about
- the electrical system to connect the new engine?
- dry sump - where can I buy a complete system - or can I just move my anti caviation system from my 1,4?

What can I re-use and what will I need to source - and from where???

I was especially concerned about the wiring loom - Is it possible to get one plug n play to suit a 1,8 VVC in a Caterham - and the Emerald ecu from the DVA K06 kit in the other end?

Thanks for any help!

Alternatively - and a lot easier, I am in the market for a 1.8 K-series (maybe 1.6 as well) as an upgrade for my 1.4 Super sport.. Should be in a good runing order, with wiring loom etc.and ready to install.

Dry sump a big plus..

Anyone have one up for sale? I will pay a premium price for the right engine!

Thanks, Morten
