was going to do this to frankensprinter ( had a xjs donor ) , by hell its hard work getting them out lol

i would have had to make 2 small boxes to weld into the foot wells ( 9"high x6" wide x3" deep ) to clear the inlets and back of heads
all well till i found a crack where block had frozen over winter :( so ended up on here with a di in it :shock:

it might be worth just bundling all the harness up in a box and running the injection system instead of adding carbs as i think the ignition is linked to the same brain iirc

i think the toymotor supra twin turbo box is a common swop for manual but you would need arms like an orangutan to change gear its so long , other common option is a T5 box

there are the odd bits and bobs in my garage if you need owt electronics boxes and things
