nope, with it being still an 8v engine its a straight swap, and like adam-D said have you got the imobiliser chip thats in the key? but apart from that its a straight swap mate.

or you could get a red top and give the c14se to me? lol as far as i have gathered on here, that engine drops straight in. then after swapping engines over, swap the loom and ecu over.
