How difficult is it to transplant an engine and gearbox from one 16v to another? Whats the deal with the ECU and immob/alarm?
the engine has an aftermarket cobra alarm (that i rarely use coz its goes off too much neway!) hoping that wont cause too much trouble

Personally I would fit it to the car not the engine

What I meant is would the Cobra immobiliser/alarm be a problem if I wanted to put the engine in a different car.. I wasnt sure how the immobiliser was wired up to the car/engine
