Yes it will. You can use all your existing kit, heads, inlet, headers, turbo etc. You will need to source the correct thickness head gaskets to get the correct compression, also a re-map and larger injectors too. You will need the 2.5 water cross feed pipe that runs across the block, as the 2.5 has an additional breather to clear. This breather can be blocked off.

You may as well buy one from a UK tuner though (considering the postage costs) pretty sire you'll get a bottom end for around that money and possibly better help/support.

Thats a good answer mate! I have just blown a head gasket and was just thinking of getting a second motor to start building up for bigger BHP. Still going to have the std motor fixed as soon as the shop can see me but having a spare motor in the garage i can slowly build sounds like a great idea.

Who in the UK could sell me something like above?
