you need to fit the inlet manifold and ancillaries from your old engine, they are all bolt on, job done.

thanks alot mate i had an idea it was just that will my coil packs bolt in just the same as well

Your 95 model is a phase 1 engine, the engine you want to fit is a phase 1.5 engine.
Not the same, the coil pack sits on top of the inlet manifold on a phase 1.5 engine.
Now personally I would have had the engine rebuilt, it costs more but then again unless you know the mileage/history and abuse the engine your putting in then its a walking timebomb

ive got the mileage its got 69k on it but its come out of a standard car thats as much as i no

Plenty go bang at that mileage if not looked after, my point being is that you have no idea (unless you knew the last owner and saw stacks of paperwork or saw the car it came out of and the v5 showing the engine/chassic number and a load of old mot's to confirm the mileage) what the mileage is on that engine, and you dont know when it was serviced last (30k ago?) and its things like that which cost you more in the long run, but its your choice and your money in the end
