Classic engine in a Newage
Hi guys, just wondered if anyone has ever put a classic engine in a newage. I am thinking of doing one. The newage is a non turbo car and was planning on installing a turbo classic engine a long with the loom and ecu etc.
If anyone has done this some advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Would you do the brakes, box, suspension and everything else, or are you just after some boost?
