Hi there. We are about to put a subi motor into our 76 bay, and a new gearbox. Just looking for some advice. If you have done it, what was the best thing you did and the worst thing you did???

Any ideas on costings or general advice would be really helpful too. We will be doing the conversion ourselves wiht the help of COR conversion kit.....

I would put the costings including gearbox at around $7000 if you do it all yourself.

worst thing...mmmm, probably not getting the front cut to begin with. But that's not terrible.

best thing, finding someone to do the loom for me. 😉
