Engine swop.

Can someone tell me what is involved in fitting a serpentine engine to a 94 Car with the intention of having power steering in the future. Is there a lot of modifications or is it a complete no no!

The engine will fit but the ancillaries like pipes etc may well be in the wrong place and wrong size (metric vs imperial). Alternator and water pump pulleys are different etc.

Nothing that can't be sorted out but be prepared for a lot of fettling and potentially having to buy new hoses etc etc etc. Read the 520 story on www.t-v-r-services.co.uk for my experiences. It will give you a pretty good chcek list of things to worry about but your job should be simpler as you are not changing rads, injection system etc etc.

Have you got the whole car (second hand engine) or a new engine, first option much better

Thanks Steve, I just think it might be a cheaper option than changing the car when I have a good one already. Iwas thinking of buying second hand.
