hey everybody

havent been on here in a while just moved house and the insurance ran out on my rover and im now the proud owner of a GL its reh 78 thousand miles fhsh to prove milage the car is sooo mint engine runs sweet and is nippy as fook raced my mates zr 1.4 and beat him quite easily! i love it bought a crash damaged 16v for the interior and suspension

im just wondering if i put the 16v engine in as its a staight fit is there any way i can run it on my twin carbs off the gl or anyother carbs i can get for it so i dont have to use the ecu or do any wirering

Engine probably more hassle to fit than its worth tbh.

If you bought a whole 16v are you gonna use any more bits off it?

I 'think' the 16v brake set up should bolt straight up, the gl only has 230mm discs and the 16v has 240mm.
