Not started any of the welding as yet, gonna get the engine in place and and gearstick/linkage sorted as i may have to move the hole in the floor an inch or so to accomodate it. If thats gotta happen I'll have to weld that in too so as soon as the engines in (and back out for the last time) the welding will be getting done, im decent with a welder so shouldn't take me too long

Cheers! Still laughing to myself this morning!

Yes its using the cougar loom coilpack and ecu, and ive used the mechanical throtle body from the cougar too, its even got the pats immobiliser still on!
Ive had to go back to the jag lower inlet and upper plenum as the cougar is a different bolt pattern so had to swap the cougar injector loom to the jag rail, only trouble is the jag rail doesn't have a fuel return as it had a variable pressure fuel pump so i'll have got to fabricate a hybrid cougar/jag fuel return
Other than that it seems to plug stright in (take that with a pinch of salt mind as its still early doors for me too )
