I\'m sure this question appears all the time on here but i just want to know how much it\'d cost for all parts, work etc to drop a 2L 8v or 16v in my SRi?
Including all upgrades such as brakes etc

so far it has cost me Â£900, and thats with the engine, conversion kits, suspension, breaks, tools, but i have done the work myself so i havnt had to pay labour costs

Engine+gearbox Â£300
Conversion mount Â£100
Drive shafts Â£10-30 (any 1.8 or bigger astra, cav or cally)
Hubs Â£70-200
inlet adaptor Â£30
ecotec pipe Â£2-16
256mm brakes Â£30-50
eibach springs Â£100
koni adj dampers Â£250-300
engine crane rental Â£20-30
misc Â£20

Also worth doing a timig belt swap, and you\'ll need an induction kit with a 75mm neck on it.
