As the title describes...

 

My friend is currently undergoing a big project and I thought I would share it with you lovely Skoda folk to see what people think  

 

He is taking a standard Vauxhall Viva 1.3 (think its a 1972/1973 model) and putting a 2.0l Engine from an S2000!

 

I dont want to give too much away as he will be doing a build thread once its all complete, which I will share with you, but here are a few pics.

 

Please let me know what you think and I will share with him

 

Cheers

Interior pic of the Viva after stripped of most parts

 

The original 1.3 engine

 

Creating custom engine mounts on the front 

 

Empty Viva engine bay (so much more room for activities!)

 

And finally the S2000 engine looking nice and snug in the Viva

 

Still to do the brakes and wiring it all together  

 

Interested to know your thoughts.

 

Thanks
